چکیده

A 44-year-old man presented with cardiogenic shock secondary to acute functional mitral incompetence as well as septic shock related to pneumonia. The patient deteriorated haemodynamically despite adequate medical therapy. An echocardiogram revealed a massive mitral incompetence and an ejection fraction of 32%. An intra-aortic balloon pump was placed and the patient improved dramatically. On day 6 after admission the echocardiogram was repeated, revealing a mild mitral incompetence and an ejection fraction of 58%.

Objective: Moderate to severe irreversible mitral regurgitation secondary to myocardial infarction is an independent risk factor for reduced long-term survival. Late effects of correction of mitral incompetence concomitant with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are less well known and the choice of mitral valve procedure is still debated. Methods: From 1988 to 1998, 93 consecutive patients...

Cardiogenic shock and the haemodynamic effects of arrhythmias.

Cardiogenic shock or pump failure may be defined as severe circulatory failure resulting from a primary defect in the pumping function of the heart, most commonly from acute myocardial infarction, and less commonly from end-stage congestive cardiomyopathy. It is essential that surgically correctable lesions leading to pump failure are identified and these would include papillary muscle dysfunct...

Cardiogenic shock due to Gemella morbillorum native mitral valve endocarditis

Gemella morbillorum is a rare cause of infective endocarditis. Consequently, little is known about the natural course of endocarditis secondary to this pathogen. Herein, we report a case of cardiogenic shock as a complication of acute mitral valve regurgitation following Gemella morbillorum native valve endocarditis.
