Comparison of baseline characteristics, hospital course, and 1-year mortality for patients with cardiogenic shock related to an acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS) vs patients with cardiogenic shock related to heart failure (HF-CS).
Cardiogenic shock is a life-limiting condition that happens suddenly when your heart can’t pump enough blood to keep up with your body’s demand for it. A heart attack is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock. Without oxygen, your cells can’t function and can die. This can lead to organ failure and be fatal.
So, advanced-stage septic shock and advanced-stage cardiogenic shock can look clinically quite similar (e.g., shock, vasodilation, reduced systolic heart failure, systemic inflammation). This may represent a final common pathway of the dying patient.
Survivors of MI‐associated CS have an 18.6% risk of 30‐day readmission after discharge, with a median time of 10 days. The risk of readmission is slightly lower among patients with STEMI versus NSTEMI. The most common causes of readmission are congestive heart failure and new myocardial infarction.
Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition in which your heart suddenly can't pump enough blood to meet your body's needs. The condition is most often caused by a severe heart attack, but not everyone who has a heart attack has cardiogenic shock.
Cardiogenic shock is a low-output state stemming from primary cardiac dysfunction, resulting in hypotension and systemic hypoperfusion. This maladaptive syndrome is perpetuated by physiologic cycles of inflammation, ischemia, vasoconstriction, and volume overload.
Heart failure–related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) has a distinct presentation compared with myocardial infarction–related cardiogenic shock. Proactive use of invasive hemodynamics should be considered early in presentations of HF-CS. HF-CS should be staged by severity and ventricular phenotype.
Cardiogenic shock due to heart failure has fundamentally different therapeutic objectives and clinical trajectories than shock due to acute myocardial insults. Multidisciplinary, team-based care is paramount to improving survival of the critically ill patient with heart failure.
Cardiogenic shock is a primary cardiac disorder characterized by a low cardiac output state of circulatory failure that results in end-organ hypoperfusion and tissue hypoxia. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of cardiogenic shock and explains the role of the interprofessional team in improving care for patients with this ...
Cardiogenic shock, which has a 90% mortality rate, is the most severe form of acute heart failure. It is diagnosed when acute heart failure and hypotension are resistant to the measures described above and there is evidence of tissue hypoxia.
