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 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 ...

LONDON — Cardiogenic shock and recovering cardiac arrest have a checkered history when it comes to high-impact management strategies. Now, a new meta-analysis provides a clear steer on the value of ...

Two new studies document the progress that’s been made in creating a consistent approach to cardiogenic shock care, and point to new directions as the field evolves. Both were released this week in a ...

A head-to-head comparison of inotropes in the setting of cardiogenic shock revealed no clear victor, with milrinone and dobutamine providing similar outcomes in the randomized DOREMI trial. A ...

A cardiovascular specialty hospital in north Texas decreased time to diagnosis for patients with cardiogenic shock by more than half, according to a study published in Critical Care Nurse. Baylor ...

The syndrome of cardiogenic shock has been defined as the inability of the heart -- as a result of impairment of its pumping function -- to deliver sufficient blood flow to the tissues to meet resting ...

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by depression of cardiac function that leads to low blood pressure, coronary ischemia, and further decreased cardiac contractility resulting in tissue hypoxemia. The ...

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 ...
