This study examines the prognostic impact of C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell
(WBC) counts in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). Data regarding the prognostic impact …

Background Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high even when mechanical
circulatory support (MCS) restores adequate circulation. To detect a potential contribution of …

Aims Cardiogenic shock (CS) is known to induce an inflammatory response. The prognostic
utility of this remains unclear. To investigate the association between C-reactive protein …

Methods: Eighty patients with CS were evaluated and their infections were monitored.
Inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, pentraxin 3, presepsin) were …

Background Cardiogenic shock (CGS) is not only a state of hypoperfusion, but also related
to inflammation. The prognostic value of systemic immune-inflammatory index (SII), an …

Background Inflammatory responses play an important role in the pathophysiology of
cardiogenic shock (CS). The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics of procalcitonin …

Patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) display systemic inflammation and a high rate of
infections, suggesting important immune disturbances. To explore the immune response to …

Background Whole body ischemia and reperfusion injury after cardiac arrest leads to the
massive inflammation clinically manifested in the post-cardiac arrest syndrome. Previous …

Background: Patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction
(AMI) are at high risk of death. Inflammation is involved in both CS and AMI, and our present …

Introduction In patients with severe sepsis, low levels of activated protein C are associated
with high morbidity and mortality. In an observational study we investigated whether patients …
