What are the benefits of early revascularization for patients with cardiogenic shock?
In patients with cardiogenic shock, the benefits of early revascularization were apparent across a wide time interval between 1) MI and the onset of shock and 2) MI and CABG. The time window in which it is beneficial is quite broad, and CABG has its most profound salutary effect when it is performed as soon as possible after MI and the appearance of shock.
