SCAI Shock Classification System Effective for Mortality Risk Stratification

Apr 28, 2021 by
Natalie Morrison, CRTonline.org

The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions’ (SCAI) recent cardiogenic shock classification system has been confirmed as effective in mortality risk stratification in a new study of more than 15,000 patients across 14 published manuscripts. As previously hypothesized by SCAI, cardiac arrest was an added risk factor for these patients. The findings were reported as a late-breaking session Wednesday at the SCAI 2021 Virtual Scientific Sessions.
