SEX-SHOCK Risk Score for the Development of Cardiogenic Shock
Calculates the risk of in-hospital cardiogenic shock in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
External validation has been performed but is not complete for all patient populations. Use caution when applying this score to patients who have not undergone PCI.
Advice
- To be used in conjunction with a detailed medical history and physical examination to help identify female and male ACS patients at high risk of cardiogenic shock, who may benefit from an early invasive approach and/or closer monitoring.
- Incorporate clinical judgment when determining a patient’s cardiogenic shock risk and potential benefit from emerging management strategies.
