Critical illness associated with cardiac pump failure results in reduced tissue perfusion in all

Background The intra-aortic balloon counter pulsation (IABP) is the most frequently used
method of mechanical cardiac support in cardiogenic shock (CS). Microcirculatory …

Despite diagnostic and therapeutic improvements, mortality rates in patients with
cardiogenic shock remain relatively high. Several studies showed that cardiogenic shock is …

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the effects of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) on
sub-lingual microcirculation as a surrogate for splanchnic microvascular perfusion …

The major focus of therapy for cardiogenic shock extends beyond the cardiovascular system,
aiming to enhance cardiac and end-organ perfusion. Identification of impending shock and …

Introduction: Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI)
remains high despite the different modern treatment modalities. One reason is the global …

Cardiogenic shock causes hypoperfusion within the microcirculation, leading to impaired
oxygen delivery, cell death and progression of multiple organ failure. Mechanical circulatory …

The degree of myocardial recovery determines the function and ultimately the survival of a
patient in cardiogenic shock. Therapeutic efforts to improve myocardial function include …

The rationale for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in cardiogenic shock is to restore
cardiac output in selected patients when critically low or in case of refractory cardiac arrest …
