From Thrombolysis to Transplant: Navigating the Storm of Delayed STEMI and Cardiogenic Shock
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Delayed STEMI presentation can cause extensive myocardial necrosis, left ventricular thrombus, cardiogenic shock, and progression to end‐stage heart failure despite reperfusion. Early recognition and timely transfer to specialized shock centers are critical.
