LONDON — Cardiogenic shock and recovering cardiac arrest have a checkered history when it comes to high-impact management strategies. Now, a new meta-analysis provides a clear steer on the value of ...

Centers with multidisciplinary teams created to rapidly respond to cardiogenic shock are more likely to use invasive hemodynamic monitoring and advanced mechanical circulatory support (MCS), but less ...

Cardiac shock, or cardiogenic shock, is even more dangerous than it sounds. Most often caused by a heart attack, cardiac shock is a life-threatening emergency requiring prompt recognition and ...

Using a microaxial flow pump prior to and during cardiac stenting procedures for patients with severe heart attacks who don't have cardiogenic shock does not significantly reduce heart damage.

Joshua Lupton, M.D., has no memory of his own cardiac arrest in 2016. He only knows that first responders resuscitated his heart with a shock from a defibrillator, ultimately leading to his complete ...

Cardiogenic shock occurs when your heart suddenly fails to pump enough blood for your vital organs. It’s the leading cause of death in heart attack patients. New study results show using a special ...

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by depression of cardiac function that leads to low blood pressure, coronary ischemia, and further decreased cardiac contractility resulting in tissue hypoxemia. The ...

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Abiomed (NASDAQ:ABMD) announces that new data from the National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative Study (NCSI) on 171 consecutive AMI cardiogenic shock (AMICS) patients from 35 ...

For patients with certain cardiovascular conditions and risk factors, sudden cardiac arrest is more than a theoretical concern. But over the past 25 years, the development of various types of ...

It is well known that acting quickly in the event of a cardiac arrest is important, but what does a quick initial shock with a defibrillator mean exactly for patients' chances of survival? Researchers ...
