Clinical use and impact of mechanical circulatory support for myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock in the Netherlands: a registry-based propensity-matched analysis

Open Heart

Background Despite limited beneficial evidence, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is commonly used in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS). In this Dutch registry, we investigated MCS usage, associated patient characteristics and clinical outcomes.

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. The primary outcome was device success and allcause death, while secondary outcomes included myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalization rates at 30day and intermediateterm followup.

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.

Emergency interventions for cardiogenic shock due to decompensated aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open Heart

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) induced by severe aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality. Despite advancements in emergency interventions, the optimal treatment approach remains uncertain. Methods A systematic literature review and meta-analysis was performed.

Organ perfusion pressure predicts outcomes in cardiogenic shock patients

European Journal of Heart Failure

Organ perfusion pressure as a predictor of outcomes in cardiogenic shock: insights from the Altshock-2 registry. ABSTRACT Aims The diagnosis of cardiogenic shock (CS) relies upon signs and/or symptoms of end-organ hypoperfusion. The primary outcome was in-hospital all-cause mortality.

National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative Study Results Show Significant Increase in Heart Attack Survival

DAIC

Henry Ford Health's National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative research team. Cardiogenic shock is a critical condition in which the heart is unable to pump enough blood to sustain the body’s needs, depriving vital organs of blood supply. This can cause those organs to eventually stop functioning. In the U.S.,
