Acute liver dysfunction after cardiac arrest

Myocardial Dysfunction and Shock after Cardiac Arrest

Postarrest myocardial dysfunction includes the development of low cardiac output or ventricular systolic or diastolic dysfunction after cardiac arrest. Impaired left ventricular systolic function is reported in nearly two-thirds of patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest. Hypotension and shock requiring vasopressor support are similarly common after cardiac arrest. Whereas shock requiring va...

CARDIAC ELECTRICAL DYSFUNCTION IN ACUTE BRAIN LESIONS

This study briefly reviews the heart abnormalities in diverse intracranial pathologies, including strokes, spontaneous and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, and presents the results of a one-year prospective study of heart abnormalities in patients with moderate to severe head injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Different abnormalities such as: QT -interval, T...

Acute kidney injury after cardiac arrest

AIM Cardiac arrest (CA) in humans causes warm renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, similar to animal models of ischemic acute kidney injury (AKI). We aimed to investigate the incidence and risk associations of AKI after CA, with or without post-resuscitation cardiogenic shock (PRCS). METHODS We examined the renal outcomes of adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), who survived...

Cardiac Rehabilitation After Acute Myocardial Infarction Resuscitated From Cardiac Arrest

OBJECTIVE To examine the safety and effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation on patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction. METHODS The study included 23 subjects, including 8 with history of cardiac arrest and 15 without history of cardiac arrest. Both groups underwent initial graded exercise test (GXT) and subsequent cardiac rehabilitation for 6 weeks. After...
