Why the sudden shock after a few days of malaise?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The VSR is what is causing the cardiogenic shock! Mechanical complications occur acutely and significantly alter hemodynamics leading to comp ensatory mechanism which usually involve vasoconstriction and tachycardia, both hallmarks of cardiogenic shock. PIRP is strongly associated with myocardial rupture.

Transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair in severe mitral regurgitation following acute myocardial infarction – aetiology‐based analysis

European Journal of Heart Failure

PMR patients had fewer cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension (52% vs. 73%, p =0.04), diabetes (26% vs. 48%, p <0.01) but a higher left ventricular ejection fraction (4515% vs.3510%, p <0.01) compared secondary MR patients. Aetiology of MR, cardiogenic shock, and procedure timing significantly impacted in-hospital mortality.

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

Background There is increasing awareness that patients without standard modifiable risk factors (SMuRFs; diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension and smoking) may represent a unique subset of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). vs 50.8%, p<0.001) and were more likely to experience postprocedural cardiogenic shock (4.5%

Outcomes of PCI of all comers: the experience of a Kuwaiti independent healthcare institution

The British Journal of Cardiology

Comorbidities included dyslipidaemia 515/567 (90.9%), hypertension 460/567 (81.2%), diabetes 346/567 (61%), known prior coronary disease 250/567 (44.2%), and smoking 188/567 (33.1%). The radial approach was used in 544/567 (95.94%), the average SYNTAX score was 34.8 ± 9.6, and the average number of stents 2.6.
