Shock index and TIMI risk index as valuable prognostic tools in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the usefulness of the shock index (SI) and the TIMI risk index (TRI Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Risk Index) one hour after successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS).
