Cardiogenic shock is usually defined as primary cardiac dysfunction with low cardiac output
leading to critical organ hypoperfusion, and tissue hypoxia, resulting in high mortality rate …

The parameter most frequently used to detect tissue malperfusion is serum lactate. Novel,
noninvasive methods to quantify microvascular perfusion have the potential to guide …

Abstract Aims Dendritic cells (DCs) are central mediators of adaptive immunity, and there is
growing evidence of their role in myocardial inflammatory disease. We hypothesized that …

Introduction Fetuin‐A has been described to correlate inversely with vascular calcification
both in animal models but also in patients with heart and renal disease. In this current study …

OBJECTIVE: Diagnostic and risk stratification in intensive and emergency medicine must be
