Artificial intelligence-based, non-invasive assessment of the central aortic pressure in adults after operative or interventional treatment of aortic coarctation

Open Heart

Background Aortic coarctation (CoA) is a congenital anomaly leading to upper-body hypertension and lower-body hypotension. This study evaluated the use of artificial intelligence-based pulse wave analysis (AI-PWA) to assess central aortic blood pressure (CABP) and related parameters in post-treatment CoA patients. ±14.4

Know About Cardiogenic Shock

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Devices like an intra-aortic balloon pump and left ventricular assist device may be useful to some extent. Intra-aortic balloon pump uses intermittent inflation of a balloon attached to a tube placed in the aorta. If cardiogenic shock is due to a heart attack, immediate angiography, and removal of the block by angioplasty are useful.
