The integrative physiology of the left ventricle and systemic circulation is fundamental to our understanding of advanced heart failure and cardiogenicshock. Circulation: Heart Failure, Ahead of Print. In simplest terms, any increase in aortic stiffness increases the vascular afterload presented to the failing left ventricle.
Background The relationship between speckle tracking assessed global longitudinal strain (GLS) and Doppler-based echocardiography with basic physiological markers of cardiac function derived from pressure-volume loops is poorly elucidated.
Background:Various temporary mechanical circulatory support device (t-MCS) options are available for supporting patients in cardiogenicshock. While each device has a different physiological impact on the heart, limited studies compare genetic changes in the heart t-MCS. and 4 bridged with IABP.
Methods Here, a mathematical and physiological framework to define the patient-specific tipping point of myocardial energetics is defined. A novel hemodynamic parameter known as the myocardial performance score (MPS), a marker of power and efficiency, is introduced that allows for the objective assessment of the physiological tipping point.
FDA for two clinical indications: high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HR-PCI) and cardiogenicshock (CS). Because of these potential advantages, Magenta's Elevate System was granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the U.S. Magenta completed a U.S. Early Feasibility Study with the HR-PCI indication in 2023.
However, stabilization was expected to be temporary due to ongoing physiologic changes of pregnancy. After discharge, she was scheduled for a 2-week postpartum visit including echocardiogram, EKG, and NT-proBNP.Discussion:Given the patient's acute decompensation and fluid overload, medical optimization was essential prior to delivery.
Authors' commentary: Cardiogenicshock in the setting of severe aortic stenosis. This patient’s severe aortic stenosis (AS) and associated severe cardiogenicshock likely created the ECG pattern, resulting in a very difficult challenge for our inpatient team. If you can use Doppler, then you can diagnose it.
Why is the patient in shock? He was in profound cardiogenicshock. During transport, I had debated giving atropine for his bradycardia and cardiogenicshock, but was worried about making an already profoundly ischemic heart more ischemic, and chose instead to optimize preload with pressure bagging 1L NS.
When there is tachycardia, the patient is in cardiogenicshock with very poor LV function on bedside echo. We hope you can see the difference: See these cases for more examples: Syncope, Shock, AV block, Large RV, "Anterior" ST Elevation. In this case we have a crashing patient while T-wave inversion is ongoing!
The axiom of "type 1 (ACS, plaque rupture) STEMIs are not tachycardic unless they are in cardiogenicshock" is not applicable outside of sinus rhythm. This case represents the same physiologic event as OMI in terms of the result on the myocardium, therefore with identical ECG features, however there may not be ACS!
Tachycardia is unusual in ACS unless there is cardiogenicshock or a second simultaneous pathology. It just doesn’t make physiologic sense to have deep T wave inversion in V1 and V3, but not in V2. Remember that is the odds ratio comparing all patients without PE to those with PE.
