Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 does not predict mortality or new ischaemic events in acute coronary syndrome patients.

abstract：:The incidence of cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased remarkably over the past decade and remains a challenging condition with mortality rates of ∼50%. Cardiogenic shock encompasses cardiac contractile dysfunction; however, it is also a multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, often complicated by a systemic inflammatory resp...
