Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains the leading cause of death among patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), with mortality rates of approximately 50%.1 Even with the benefit of thrombolytic therapy and intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs), the in-hospital mortality rate of patients with CS from AMI was only lowered from 63 to 47% according to a report from the SHould we emergently…

Techniques and devices used in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have evolved significantly since the inception of the procedure. Procedural and patient outcomes have improved, while more complex coronary lesions in high-risk patients are being attempted with increasing frequency. High-risk procedures are carried out in patients with marked left ventricular dysfunction, acute coronary…

The main goal of mechanical cardiac assistance is to provide haemodynamic support in case of an endangered coronary or systemic circulation by increasing or maintaining coronary and systemic blood flow. In addition to haemodynamic support, mechanical cardiac assistance may also provide myocardial protection by unloading the ventricle. The experience with percutaneous mechanical support devices is…

Cardiogenic shock is a clinical condition of inadequate end-organ perfusion due to cardiac dysfunction (see Table 1). It most commonly occurs in the setting of acute MI with left ventricular failure (~80 % cases),1,2 but can also be caused by right ventricular infarction or late mechanical complications, such as acute mitral regurgitation or ventricular rupture (septal or free wall). Non-infarct…

Aortic Stenosis and Suitability for Aortic Valve Replacement
Aortic stenosis is the most common form of adult valvular heart disease. In North America, the estimated population incidence of moderate-severe aortic stenosis (valve area <1.5cm2) is 0.4%, rising to 2.8% in subjects aged ≥75 years. In the EuroHeart Survey of 216 elderly patients (≥75 years) who had severe aortic stenosis (≤0.6 cm2…
