Comparative Study[Mortality prognostic factors of cardiogenic shock complicating an acute myocardial infarction and treated by percutaneous coronary intervention].
To determine the in-hospital prognosis and late outcome of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction treated by early (< 24 hours) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). ⋯ In-hospital mortality of patients suffering cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction and treated by PCI remains high despite PCI improvement. The long-term survival appears, however, to be better than that of patients with coronary artery disease and low LVEF.

Review Case Reports[Acute myocarditis: from chest pain to cardiogenic shock].
We report the observations of three patients with myocarditis. The first one with chest pain, the second one with a pseudo-infarct presentation and the third one with a cardiogenic shock. We discuss the different anatomo-clinical presentations of myocarditis, the diagnosis, the indications of endomyocardial biopsies and the prognosis of this pathology.
