Evidence-based Management of Cardiogenic Shock After Acute Myocardial Infarction
Author(s): Karl Werdan , Martin Russ , Michael Buerke , et al Added: 3 years ago
Cardiogenic Shock, One of the Unresolved Problems in Cardiology Provided the patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reaches the hospital, he has a more than 90 % probability to survive.1 However, when cardiogenic shock develops, either initially or in the course of the infarction, only one in two patients is alive one year later.2,3 It really seems that all the progress in the treatment… View more

The coexistence of heart and kidney disease represents an evolving epidemic in an ageing population, with chronic kidney disease (CKD) incidence rates increasing annually.1 The effect of dysfunction of one kidney mediates profound effects on the other, recently described and defined as five distinctive cardiorenal subtypes by the Acute Dialysis Quality Initiative consensus group.2 Much work has… View more

Considering the unacceptably high mortality rate of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) and the absence of widespread improvements in survival over recent decades, the time has arrived for the cardiovascular community to embrace a ‘combat’ approach to CS.1 In the past 20 years we have witnessed a revolution in the management of combat polytrauma towards a goal of zero preventable battlefield… View more

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… View more
