Management of cardiogenic shock.
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains the most common cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction although mortality could be reduced from formerly ∼80% to 40-50%. In addition to percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting, catecholamines, fluids, intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP), and also active assist devices are widely used for CS management. However, the...
متن کاملInduced hypothermia in cardiogenic shock: a case report
Induced hypothermia is a technique that has gained popularity as an adjuvant therapy for patients with traumatic brain injuries, refractory arrhythmias, cardiac arrest and myocardial infarction. Induced hypothermia in patients with cardiogenic shock could improve the recovery of a stunned myocardium by decreasing its metabolic demands.

متن کامل[Levosimendan as a treatment for acute renal failure associated with cardiogenic shock after hip fracture].
Inotropic drugs are part of the treatment of heart failure; however, inotropic treatment has been largely debated due to the increased incidence of adverse effects and increased mortality. Recently levosimendan, an inotropic positive agent, has been proved to be effective in acute heart failure, reducing the mortality and improving cardiac and renal performance. We report the case of a 75-year-...
متن کاملA Case Report of Churg–Strauss Syndrome Presenting With Cardiogenic Shock Treated With Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Churg-Strauss Syndrome (CSS) complicated with cardiogenic shock is rare. Few case reports have described successful treatment of this rare disease. However, no one has reported on the application of mechanical life support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to treat this life-threatening disease.A 36-year-old female with limb numbness for >10 days, chest tightness for 2 days, and w...
