Windtree’s Istaroxime Scores in Cardiogenic Shock Trial

CardiacWire

Windtree Therapeutics’ istaroxime appears to have scored in its latest Phase 2b trial , showing that the steroidal drug significantly improves systolic blood pressure in cardiogenic shock patients. That could be a big deal in the cardiogenic shock space, which many believe is still in need of more effective treatments.

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. The arterial blood gas showed a lactic acidosis with a lactate level of 17mmol/L. This is an ominous sign.

Hemodynamic Characteristics and Prognostic Implication of Modified Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions Shock Classification in Comatose Patients With Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundCardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction is associated with a high mortality rate. Cardiogenic shock after outofhospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) can be due to transient myocardial stunning but also reflect the increasing severity of ongoing heart failure.

Ken Grauer, MD

MY Thoughts on this CASE: Not being there — I am unaware of physical exam parameters ( blood pressure, respiratory rate; oxygen saturation; heart and lung auscultation, etc. ). PEARL # 2: In the absence of associated heart failure ( cardiogenic shock ) — sinus tachycardia is not a common finding in acute MI.

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The initial blood pressure was 80/palp with a heart rate of 104, respirations 20, oxygen saturations of 94% and a finger stick blood glucose of 268. In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of blood pressure. If you can use Doppler, then you can diagnose it.
