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.

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.

Altshock-2: Early IABP Implantation Does Not Improve Outcomes For HF-CS

American College of Cardiology

Implantation of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) did not improve 60-day survival or bridge to heart replacement (HRT) therapies in patients with heart failure-cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) compared to standard care, according to a study presented during a Featured Clinical Research session at ACC.25

Contemporary approach to cardiogenic shock care: a state-of-the-art review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a time-sensitive and hemodynamically complex syndrome with a broad spectrum of etiologies and clinical presentations. Despite contemporary therapies, CS continues to maintain high morbidity and mortality ranging from 35 to 50%.

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.

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.

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.
