Cardiogenic shock (CGS) occurs in 10% of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (MI), in-hospital mortality rates 40-50% despite revascularisation.
While endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is recommended in adult patients with fulminant myocarditis, the clinical impact of its timing still unclear.Data were collected from 419 clinically suspected myocarditis admitted to intensive care units across 36 tertiary centres 15 countries worldwide. The diagnosis was histologically proven 210 (50%) patients, either by EMB (n = 183, 44%) or autopsy/explanted heart examination 27, 6%), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed 96 (23%) patients....
The venous-to-arterial CO2 partial pressure difference (CO2) is a marker of how adequately capillary blood flow able to remove from tissues, but evidence regarding its usefulness in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) scarce main objective this study was describe the changes during 48 hours after hospital admission. A secondary analyze association between and in-hospital mortality due cardiovascular disease (CVD) refractory treatment.
Prognosis of heart failure patients has been defined in hospital-based or retrospective studies. This study aimed to characterize prognosis outpatients with new-onset preserved reduced ejection fraction failure; explore the role collagen turnover biomarkers (MMP2, MMP9, TIMP1) predicting prognosis; and analyse their relationship echocardiographic parameters final diagnosis.This is an observational, prospective, longitudinal study. Outpatients symptoms referred a one-stop clinic were...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main source(s): Consell Català de Resucitació 2022. Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) accounts the 50% cardiovascular deaths. Neuroprognostication must be done in a multimodal approach as recommended by ILCOR guidelines but its application real life is challenging. Aim To investigate current post-resuscitation care and neurological prognostication OHCA patients admitted to...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements None. Introduction Association between air pollutants (APs) levels and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) at the same day of measurements have been previously described. Whether APs measured during previous 48 hours may predict OHCA occurrence is not known. Purpose To analyse whether same-day compared to are associated with incidence. Methods admissions on five Cardiac Intensive Care Units our city were assessed September-2020 December-2021. Free access...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main source(s): Consell Català de Resuscitació. Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) accounts the 50% cardiovascular deaths. Being aware characteristics and outcomes our OHCA population is important in order to apply measures weaker areas improve results process. Purpose To investigate current outcomes, at 6-month follow-up, patients admitted an Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU) a...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements None. Background The choice of a sedative agent for patients undergoing invasive ventilation has been widely studied. However, data regarding the optimal sedation strategy after Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) when are suffering from post-OHCA shock is sparse. Aim To explore whether use midazolam in admitted OHCA that additionally haemodynamically unstable increases in-hospital mortality, cardiovascular (CV) cerebral performance status (CPC) at...
ABSTRACT Background and objectives Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis risk stratification. The aim was investigate in-hospital mortality patients according aetiology. We also assessed prognostic accuracy of CardShock IABP-SHOCK II scores. Methods Shock-CAT study a multicentre, prospective, observational conducted from December 2018-November 2019 eight University hospitals Catalonia, including non-selected consecutive...

Retrospective studies support that mean perfusion pressure (MPP) deficit in cardiac surgery patients is associated with a higher incidence of acute kidney injury (CS-AKI). The aim our study was to apply an algorithm based on MPP the postoperative period determine whether management individualized target reduces CS-AKI.Randomized controlled trial undergoing extracorporeal circulation. Adult submitted valve replacement and/or bypass high risk CS-AKI evaluated by Leicester score >30 were...
We investigated which factors predict late presentation (LP) to the emergency department (ED) in patients with non-traumatic chest pain (CP).All CP cases attended at a single ED (2008-2017) were included. LP was considered if time from onset arrival was>6 h. analyzed associations between 42 patient/CP-related characteristics and whole cohort due acute coronary syndrome (ACS).The included 25,693 (LP=50.6%; ACS=19.0%). Twenty associated LP, 8 also found ACS: of short-duration, aggravated by...
Abstract Introduction Pericarditis is relatively common in clinical practice and may present as an isolated disease or a manifestation of systemic disease. There important sex-gap the evidence on cardiovascular diseases, whereas it unclear if there are sex-specific differences features patients with acute pericarditis (AP). Objective The aim this study was to evaluate presence specific sex gender factors women. Material methods We retrospectively included all consecutive admitted (AP)...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Recovered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Having prognostic tools within the first hours admission to hospital critical. The pH a widespread arterial blood gas marker, but influence its respiratory/metabolic components has not yet been established. Purpose objective study analyze utility bicarbonate measure as predictor in-hospital mortality after OHCA. Methods...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Venous to arterial CO2 gap (CO2gap) is calculated by subtracting partial pressure central venous (ScvCO2). This marker has been studied in septic shock and indicates hypoperfusion when exceeds 6mmHg. Its kinetics applicability cardiogenic (CS) are unclear, being mixed/central saturation lactate more commonly used. Purpose The objective the study describe CO2gap patients with CS. Secondary analyze if as prognosis...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Aadverse left ventricle remodeling’s natural evolution without proper therapy leads to low ejection fraction (LVEF) and high morbidity mortality. LVEF after discharge in patients with de novo LV dysfunction (≤40%) detected during an intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) hospitalization is not well known. Purpose To characterize patient Intensive Cardiac Care Unit admission according etiology: ischemic etiology (IE)Vs...
