Current and novel biomarkers in cardiogenic shock

European Journal of Heart Failure

A summary of current and novel biomarkers and their potential stages of release in cardiogenic shock. The diagram illustrates the proposed release of the biomarkers during the different stages of cardiogenic shock: progression from cardiac dysfunction/stress, through to inflammation and end-organ dysfunction.

Microaxial Flow Pump Effects in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock

JAMA Cardiology

This substudy of the Danish-German (DanGer) Shock randomized clinical trial investigates if the use of a microaxial flow pump reduces the need for pharmacological support and what the effects are on hemodynamics and lactate clearance in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction–induced cardiogenic shock.

Transcatheter Edge‐to‐Edge Repair for Severe Mitral Regurgitation in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPatients with severe mitral regurgitation and cardiogenic shock demonstrate a poor prognosis. ConclusionsIn patients with mitral regurgitation and cardiogenic shock, transcatheter edgetoedge repair is associated with favorable 30day and intermediateterm outcomes. Studies with <5 patients were excluded.
