Popis: OBJECTIVESThe study examined whether antiplatelet treatment with eptifibatide affected the frequency and outcome of shock among patients in the Platelet Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa in Unstable Angina: Receptor Suppression Using Integrilin Therapy (PURSUIT) trial who had acute coronary syndromes but not persistent ST-segment elevation.BACKGROUNDPreliminary reports suggest a salutary effect of antiplatelet agents when shock complicates acute myocardial infarction.METHODSWe analyzed the impact of antiplatelet treatment with eptifibatide on the frequency and outcome of cardiogenic shock developing after enrollment. PURSUIT was a double-blind, randomized trial that examined the efficacy of eptifibatide (180 μg/kg bolus + continuous infusion of 2.0 μg/kg/min for ≤96 h) versus placebo among patients who had acute coronary syndromes but not persistent ST-segment elevation.RESULTSShock developed in 2.5% of the 9,449 patients at a median (25th, 75th interquartiles) of 94.0 (38, 206) h. Death by 30 days occurred in 65.8% of shock patients. Patients who had acute myocardial infarction upon enrollment had a greater incidence of shock (2.9% vs. 2.1%, p = 0.01), developed shock earlier (40.2%
