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.

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. Abstract Worldwide, valvular heart disease (VHD) is a common cause of hospitalization for acute heart failure.

Background The relationship between speckle tracking assessed global longitudinal strain (GLS) and Doppler-based echocardiography with basic physiological markers of cardiac function derived from pressure-volume loops is poorly elucidated.

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.

The patient in today’s case presented in cardiogenic shock from proximal LAD occlusion, in conjunction with a subtotally stenosed LMCA. Cardiac function is poor, with akinesis of the LAD territory. LAD — 100% proximal occlusion; with 70-89% mid-vessel narrowing. RCA — 100% proximal occlussion.

Smith : LAD OMI with RBBB/LAFB is not only subtle on the ECG, but most of these patients are extremely ill: most I have seen are post-ROSC, in cardiogenic shock, or arrested shortly after. For clarity in Figure-1 — I've labeled the 2 EMS ECGs and the baseline ECG recorded ~1 month earlier.
