Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart is unable to supply enough blood to the vital organs of the body. As a result of the failure of the heart to pump enough nutrients to the body, blood pressure ...

Cardiogenic shock (CS) can happen with advanced heart failure – when your heart can’t pump enough blood to meet your body’s needs. It’s a potentially deadly medical emergency, and you’ll need ...

DALLAS, TX — The contemporary management of cardiogenic shock is the focus of a scientific statement from the American Heart Association (AHA) [1]. Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening, ...

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by acute hypoperfusion and end-organ dysfunction owing to reduced cardiac output, and is commonly caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with left ventricular ...

Ischemic cardiogenic shock is a complex, self-perpetuating pathological process that frequently causes death irrespective of medical therapy. Early definition of coronary anatomy is a pivotal step ...

Physiologic shock is when you don’t have enough blood to support your organs and tissues. Psychologic shock is usually related to trauma. What is shock? The term “shock” may refer to a psychologic or ...

For patients with cardiogenic shock, the in-hospital mortality risk depends on the condition’s etiology—it’s substantially lower when it’s derived from acute decompensated heart failure (HF) than from ...

Most people who've had a heart attack-or who fear having one-focus on surviving the cardiovascular event itself. But what happens in the hours and days after can be just as critical. One serious ...

Centers with multidisciplinary teams created to rapidly respond to cardiogenic shock are more likely to use invasive hemodynamic monitoring and advanced mechanical circulatory support (MCS), but less ...

Despite advances in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), the incidence of cardiogenic shock has remained at 7% to 10% during the last 25 years. Hospital mortality was about 90% in the 1970s; ...

Cardiogenic shock occurs as a result of reduced pumping ability of the suddenly weakened heart due to various causes, such as damage to the muscles of heart from a severe heart attack; this results in ...
