Core Tip
Core Tip: Cardiogenic shock continues to be a highly morbid complication that affects around 7%-10% of patients and similarly, obesity is now prevalent around the globe. We reviewed data from five studies to assess the impact of obesity on outcomes of cardiogenic shock. Pooled analysis of adjusted data indicated that overweight/obese was associated with a reduced risk of mortality vs normal patients but the same relationship was not noted in the analysis of crude mortality rates. Thus, current evidence on the association between overweight/obesity and mortality after cardiogenic shock is scarce and conflicting and there is a need for further studies.
