The diagnosis of cardiogenic shock depends on clinical signs of poor perfusion and low blood pressure. Lactate concentration will increase with poor tissue perfusion, and it has prognostic value in cardiogenic shock patients. We sought to assess the prognostic value of lactate concentration in subjects admitted with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
