Erroneous Terminology in Review

PMCID: PMC8590195  PMID: 34766969

In the Review article titled “Cardiogenic Shock After Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Review,”1 published in the November 9, 2021, issue of JAMA, an abbreviation was erroneously expanded. The term “percutaneous medical circulatory support” throughout the “Management” section and in the “Limitations” paragraph should be “percutaneous mechanical circulatory support.” In addition, the directionality in a sentence regarding survival rates was reversed. In the fourth paragraph of the “Percutaneous Medical Circulatory Support Devices” section, the sentence “The survival rates in both studies were lower than rates reported in previously conducted RCTs and registries” was corrected to “The survival rates in both studies were improved compared with rates reported in previously conducted RCTs and registries.” This article has been corrected online.
