Key Points Mortality associated with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has increased despite improved door to balloon times due to increased patient complexity with more patients presenting to the catheterization lab with cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock. Emphasis on multimodal treatments of STEMI patients presenting with cardiogenic shock including early percutaneous coronary intervention with circulatory support when appropriate will likely provide the best clinical outcomes. Future research should involve continued study of clinical outcomes in STEMI patients as use of various mechanical support increases.
