Figure 1 The complete population of all shock patients screened, including 1,190 Registered patients and 232 Trial patients randomized concurrent with the Registry from 4/93 – 8/97, is represented in the figure. Of the 1,116 patients with LVF, 844 were Registry and 232 were Trial. The mortality rates for the 1,190 Registry patients and 884 LVF Registry patients are 61.4% and 60.8%, respectively. The incidence (%, below each bar) and mortality for the major shock categories is shown. LVF = predominant LV failure (see Methods section), RVF = isolated RV shock, MR = acute severe mitral regurgitation, VSR = ventricular septal rupture, Tamp = cardiac tamponade/rupture. Other causes are described in the methods section. The categorization of cardiogenic shock was unknown in four patients who had a 75% mortality rate. Between group comparisons are based on hierarchical groups in order from left to right. Six patients fell into more than one category (see text).
