Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A 20-something presented after a huge verapamil overdose in cardiogenic shock. Today's patient is a young male who presented in cardiogenic shock following a massive verapamil overdose. He had been seen at an outside institution and been given 6 g calcium gluconate, KCl, and a norepinephrine drip. The initial K was 3.0

Artificial intelligence-assisted echocardiographic monitoring in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundPercutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is administered to pediatric patients with cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The traditional method uses focal echocardiography to complete the left ventricular measurement.

Reperfusion in Patients With ST-Segment–Elevation Myocardial Infarction With Cardiogenic Shock and Prolonged Interhospital Transport Times

Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions

BACKGROUND:In patients with ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock, primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) is the preferred revascularization option. pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% pharmacoinvasive and 46.2% The incidence of the primary safety outcome was 10.1% 1.09];P=0.08).CONCLUSIONS:In

What are treatment options for this rhythm, when all else fails?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. LAD — 100% proximal occlusion; with 70-89% mid-vessel narrowing. LCx — 50-69% stenosis of the 1st marginal branch; with 100% distal LCx occlusion. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.
