Core Tip

Core Tip: The unstable hemodynamic status in acute myocardial infarction-cardiogenic shock patients and frequent use of vasopressor and inotropic medications along with mechanical circulatory support devices, may suggest a role for invasive hemodynamic monitoring with a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) to help improve outcomes. In this review, we summarize the currently available literature to summarize the indications, clinical relevance, and recommendations for use of PAC in the setting of acute myocardial infarction-cardiogenic shock.
