Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a multifactorial, hemodynamically complex syndrome associated with high mortality. Despite advances in reperfusion and mechanical circulatory support, management remains highly variable outcomes poor.This study investigated whether standardized team-based approach can improve CS risk score guide clinical decision making.A total of 204 consecutive patients were identified. etiology, patient demographic characteristics, right heart catheterization, support use,...

Abstract Background The National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative is a single‐arm, prospective, multicenter study to assess outcomes associated with early mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock (AMICS) treated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Between July 2016 February 2019, 35 sites participated enrolled into the study. All centers agreed treat AMICS using standard protocol emphasizing invasive hemodynamic...

Background Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices increase systemic blood pressure end organ perfusion while reducing cardiac filling pressures. Methods Results The National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative (NCT03677180) a single‐arm, multicenter study. purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility effectiveness utilizing early MCS Impella in patients...

Background: Little is known about clinical characteristics, hospital course, and longitudinal outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) related to heart failure (HF-CS) compared acute myocardial infarction (AMI; CS AMI [AMI-CS]). Methods: We examined in-hospital 1-year 520 (219 AMI-CS, 301 HF-CS) consecutive (January 3, 2017–December 31, 2019) in a single-center registry. Results: Mean age was 61.5±13.5 years, 71% were male, 22% Black patients, 63% had chronic kidney disease. The...

Abstract Background Increasing vasopressor dose is associated with increasing mortality in patients presenting acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock (AMICS). It unknown whether the use of vasopressors independently harmful or if their secondary to decreasing intrinsic cardiac power output (CPO). Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices enhance CPO. We sought evaluate independent impact on survival National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative (NCSI). Methods The NCSI a single arm...

More than 1 million transcatheter-based cardiovascular procedures across the spectrum of interventional cardiology are performed annually in United States. With expanded indications for and increased complexities associated with these procedures, cardiologists expected to possess requisite expertise complete interventions safely effectively. While art vascular access closure remains a prerequisite critical skillset contemporary practice, there remain significant variations techniques...
