Practising physicians should be reassured about the good tolerability of ACE inhibitors, and of lisinopril in particular. Treatment should be initiated by slow forced titration to a target dose. Based on ATLAS and other trials it is not clear what the optimal dose level is but my interpretations are:

Cardiogenic shock: do not forget the possibility of Kawasaki disease.
We report the case of a six-year-old boy who presented with cardiogenic shock due to Kawasaki disease (KD). He was misdiagnosed at first as septic shock. After careful examination, he was diagnosed as KD complicated with acute coronary syndrome, which leads to cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is often neglected as a complication of KD, and it tends to be misdiagnosed. We hereby call attenti...
متن کاملExtracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation as a Bridge for Heart Failure and Cardiogenic Shock
Heart failure (HF) can be defined as cardiac structural or functional abnormality leading to a series of symptoms due to deficiency of oxygen delivery. In the clinical practice, acute heart failure (AHF) is usually performed as cardiogenic shock (CS), pulmonary edema, and single or double ventricle congestive heart failure. CS refers to depressed or insufficient cardiac output (CO) attributable...
متن کاملTransapical transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with cardiogenic shock.
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been introduced to treat patients at high risk for conventional surgery; however, cardiogenic shock is considered a contraindication for TAVI. The aim of the present study was to evaluate early and intermediate mortality of patients in cardiogenic shock undergoing TAVI as a rescue procedure. Patients in cardiogenic shock underwent transapical T...
متن کاملTen-year trends in the incidence and treatment of cardiogenic shock.
BACKGROUND Few studies describe recent changes in the incidence, treatment, and outcomes of cardiogenic shock. OBJECTIVE To examine temporal trends in the incidence, therapeutic management, and mortality rates of patients with the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiogenic shock, and to assess associations of therapeutic management with death and cardiogenic shock developing during hospita...
متن کاملThirty-year trends (1975 to 2005) in the magnitude of, management of, and hospital death rates associated with cardiogenic shock in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a population-based perspective.
BACKGROUND Limited information is available about potentially changing and contemporary trends in the incidence and hospital death rates of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction. The objectives of our study were to examine 3-decade-long trends (1975 to 2005) in the incidence rates of cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction, patient characteristics and tre...
