Abstract: Cardiogenic shock is a state of end-organ hypoperfusion due to primary cardiac dysfunction and portends a poor prognosis. Shock refractory to inotropic and vasopressor support is often an indication for mechanical circulatory support. When mechanical… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Temporary mechanical cardiac support (TMCS) devices intend to restore systemic perfusion and prevent further end-organ damage in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock until the insult is addressed. TMCS has been associated with reductions in… read more here.

Abstract: Cardiogenic shock is the only remaining complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) still related to very high mortality rates despite huge investment of medical resources. The explanation is quite simple: cardiogenic shock develops when the… read more here.
