Ventilation strategies in cardiogenic shock: Insights from the AltShock‐2 registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

Ventilatory modalities in cardiogenic shock: insights from the AltShock-2 registry. Aims To describe the use and the relation to outcome of different ventilation strategies in a contemporary, large, prospective registry of cardiogenic shock patients. All-cause mortality at 24h did not differ amongst the three groups.

Early Utilization of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: The National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A total of 406 patients were enrolled at 80 sites between 2016 and 2020. mmol/L and cardiac power output was 0.67±0.29 watts. The primary end point was in‐hospital mortality.

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Methods and results This nationwide observational cohort study describes all AMICS patients treated with Impella (ABIOMED, Danvers, MA, USA) and/or VA-ECMO in 2020–2021.

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

Results From 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2020, 2727/18 988 (14.4%) patients were SMuRF less, with the proportion increasing over time. SMuRF-less patients were more likely to present with cardiac arrest (6.6% vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5%

Abstract 4118341: Outcomes of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients With Concurrent Opioid Use: Insights From the National Inpatient Sample

Circulation

This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of chronic opioid therapy on HFpEF patients.Methods:Studying the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2020), we identified adult HFpEF patients using the appropriate ICD-10 codes -after excluding patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)- and compared outcomes between chronic opioid users and non-users.

Two patients with chest pain and RBBB: do either have occlusion MI?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

There was 100% proximal LAD occlusion with TIMI 0 flow, and cardiac arrest in the cath lab. As often emphasized by Dr. Smith — sinus tachycardia is not a common finding with acute OMI unless something else is going on (ie, cardiogenic shock ). When seen — such ST elevation is typically seen in anterior leads.

See what happens when a left main thrombus evolves from subtotal occlusion to total occlusion.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Figure B At this point, with the ECG changing from diffuse ST depression to widespread ST elevation and the patient presenting in cardiogenic shock, left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion is the likely diagnosis. This patient is actively dying from a left main coronary artery OMI and cardiac arrest from VT/VF or PEA is imminent!
