Altshock-2: Early IABP Implantation Does Not Improve Outcomes For HF-CS

American College of Cardiology

MARCH 30, 2025

Implantation of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) did not improve 60-day survival or bridge to heart replacement (HRT) therapies in patients with heart failure-cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) compared to standard care, according to a study presented during a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.25

What is the preferred order of vasopressors and ionotropes in the management of cardiogenic shock? How can we best pick up occult cardiogenic shock before it floured shock kicks in? Which patients with acute heart are safe to send home in general?

The goal of the Altshock-2 trial was to evaluate the effect of early intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) use vs. standard care on 60-day survival or successful bridging to heart replacement therapies (HRT) in patients with heart failurecardiogenic shock (HF-CS).

Background Objective tools to define the optimal time for referral for advanced therapies and to help guide escalation and de-escalation of support can improve management decisions and outcomes for patients with advanced heart failure. Results Approximately 1010 discrete heart failure scenarios were modeled.

Abstract Worldwide, valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common cause of hospitalization for acute heart failure. In acute heart failure caused by VHD, symptoms result from rapid haemodynamic changes and subsequent decline in cardiac function, and if left untreated, leads to acute decompensation and cardiogenic shock.

Look at the aortic outflow tract. The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. In fact, bedside ultrasound might even find severe aortic stenosis. What do you see?

However, there is also significant tachycardia , with heart rate of 116, and known hypoxia. Whenever there is tachycardia, I am skeptical of OMI unless it has led to severely compromised ejection fracction with cardiogenic shock. Smith : "decompensation" of aortic stenosis might have initiated this entire cascade.
