Prediction of In?Hospital Mortality for Ischemic Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundClinical outcome of ischemic cardiogenic shock (CS) requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is highly variable, necessitating appropriate assessment of prognosis. However, a systemic predictive model estimating the mortality of refractory ischemic CS is lacking.

Why the sudden shock after a few days of malaise?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The VSR is what is causing the cardiogenic shock! Left ventricular afterload reduction is essential to decrease the trans-se ptal pressure gradient and thus decrease shunt volume, making a larger proportion of the blood flow from the left ventricle through the aortic valve. PIRP is strongly associated with myocardial rupture.
