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.
