Abstract
Impella and intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) are commonly utilized in patients with cardiogenic shock. However, the effect on mortality remains controversial. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of Impella and IABP on mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock the large Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was utilized to study any association between the use of IABP or Impella on outcome. ICD-10 codes for Impella, IABP, and cardiogenic shock for available years 2016-2020 were utilized. A total of 844,020 patients had a diagnosis of cardiogenic shock. A total of 101,870 patients were treated with IABP and 39645 with an Impella. Total inpatient mortality without any device was 34.2% vs only 25.1% with IABP use (OR = 0.65, CI 0.62-0.67) but was highest at 40.7% with Impella utilization (OR = 1.32, CI 1.26-1.39). After adjusting for 47 variables, Impella utilization remained associated with the highest mortality (OR: 1.33, CI 1.25-1.41, p < 0.001), whereas IABP remained associated with the lowest mortality (OR: 0.69, CI 0.66-0.72, p < 0.001). Separating rural vs teaching hospitals revealed similar findings. In patients with cardiogenic shock, the use of Impella was associated with the highest whereas IABP was associated with the lowest in-hospital mortality regardless of comorbid condition.

Isoproterenol improves hemodynamics and right ventricle-pulmonary artery coupling after heart transplantation. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 2024; 327:H131-H137. [PMID: 38700470 DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00200.2024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2024] [Revised: 05/02/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a major cause of early mortality after heart transplantation (HT). Isoproterenol (Iso) has chronotropic, inotropic, and vasodilatory properties, which might improve right ventricle function in this setting. We aimed to investigate the hemodynamic effects of isoproterenol on patients with post-HT RVF. We conducted a 1-yr retrospective observational study including patients receiving isoproterenol (Iso) and dobutamine for early RVF after HT. A comprehensive multiparametric hemodynamic evaluation was performed successively three times: no isoproterenol, low doses: 0.025 µg/kg/min, and high doses: 0.05 µg/kg/min (henceforth, respectively, called no Iso, low Iso, and high Iso). From June 2022 to June 2023, 25 patients, median [interquartile range (IQR) 25-75] age 54 [38-61] yr, were included. Before isoproterenol was introduced, all patients received dobutamine, and 15 (60%) were on venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Isoproterenol significantly increased heart rate from 84 [77-99] (no Iso) to 91 [88-106] (low Iso) and 102 [90-122] beats/min (high Iso, P < 0.001). Similarly, cardiac index rose from 2.3 [1.4-3.1] to 2.7 [1.8-3.4] and 3 [1.9-3.7] L/min/m2 (P < 0.001) with a concomitant increase in indexed stroke volume (28 [17-34] to 31 [20-34] and 33 [23-35] mL/m2, P < 0.05). Effective pulmonary arterial elastance and pressures were not modified by isoproterenol. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) tended to decrease from 2.9 [1.4-3.6] to 2.3 [1.3-3.5] wood units (WU), P = 0.06. Right ventricular ejection fraction/systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) evaluating right ventricle-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling increased after isoproterenol from 0.8 to 0.9 and 1%·mmHg-1 (P = 0.001). In conclusion, in post-HT RVF, isoproterenol exhibits chronotropic and inotropic effects, thereby improving RV-PA coupling and resulting in a clinically relevant increase in the cardiac index.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study offers a detailed and comprehensive hemodynamic investigation at the bedside, illustrating the favorable impact of isoproterenol on right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling and global hemodynamics. It elucidates the physiological effects of an underused inotropic strategy in a critical clinical scenario. By enhancing cardiac hemodynamics, isoproterenol has the potential to expedite right ventricular recovery and mitigate primary graft dysfunction, thereby reducing the duration of mechanical support and intensive care unit stay posttransplantation.

Limiting Overdistention or Collapse When Mechanically Ventilating Injured Lungs: A Randomized Study in a Porcine Model. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2024; 209:1441-1452. [PMID: 38354065 DOI: 10.1164/rccm.202310-1895oc] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Rationale: It is unknown whether preventing overdistention or collapse is more important when titrating positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Objectives: To compare PEEP targeting minimal overdistention or minimal collapse or using a compromise between collapse and overdistention in a randomized trial and to assess the impact on respiratory mechanics, gas exchange, inflammation, and hemodynamics. Methods: In a porcine model of ARDS, lung collapse and overdistention were estimated using electrical impedance tomography during a decremental PEEP titration. Pigs were randomized to three groups and ventilated for 12 hours: PEEP set at ⩽3% of overdistention (low overdistention), ⩽3% of collapse (low collapse), and the crossing point of collapse and overdistention. Measurements and Main Results: Thirty-six pigs (12 per group) were included. Median (interquartile range) values of PEEP were 7 (6-8), 11 (10-11), and 15 (12-16) cm H2O in the three groups (P < 0.001). With low overdistension, 6 (50%) pigs died, whereas survival was 100% in both other groups. Cause of death was hemodynamic in nature, with high transpulmonary vascular gradient and high epinephrine requirements. Compared with the other groups, pigs surviving with low overdistension had worse respiratory mechanics and gas exchange during the entire protocol. Minimal differences existed between crossing-point and low-collapse animals in physiological parameters, but postmortem alveolar density was more homogeneous in the crossing-point group. Inflammatory markers were not significantly different. Conclusions: PEEP to minimize overdistention resulted in high mortality in an animal model of ARDS. Minimizing collapse or choosing a compromise between collapse and overdistention may result in less lung injury, with potential benefits of the compromise approach.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION A feared complication of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is cardiac arrest (CA). Even if return of spontaneous circulation is achieved, cardiogenic shock (CS) is common. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) supports patients with CS and is often used in conjunction with an Impella device (2.5 and CP) to off-load the left ventricle, although limited evidence supports this approach. METHODS The goal of this study was to determine whether a mortality difference was observed in VA-ECMO alone versus VA-ECMO with Impella (ECPELLA) in patients with CS from AMI and CA. A retrospective chart review of 50 patients with AMI-CS and CA and were supported with VA-ECMO (n = 34) or ECPELLA (n = 16) was performed. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at 6-months from VA-ECMO or Impella implantation. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital mortality and complication rates between both cohorts and intensive care unit data. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were similar, except patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction were more likely to be in the VA-ECMO group (p = 0.044). The ECPELLA cohort had significantly worse survival after VA-ECMO (SAVE) score (p = 0.032). Six-month all-cause mortality was not significantly different between the cohorts, even when adjusting for SAVE score. Secondary outcomes were notable for an increased rate of minor complications without an increased rate of major complications in the ECPELLA group. CONCLUSIONS Randomized trials are needed to determine if a mortality difference exists between VA-ECMO and ECPELLA platforms in patients with AMI complicated by CA and CS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the current use and impact of pulmonary artery catheters (PACs) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) who underwent Impella support. DESIGN This was a prospective multicenter observational study between January 2020 and December 2021 that registered all patients with drug-refractory acute heart failure and in whom the placement of an Impella 2.5, CP, or 5.0 pump was attempted or successful in Japan. SETTING Cardiac ICUs in Japan. PATIENTS Between January 2020 and December 2021, a total of 3112 patients treated with an Impella were prospectively enrolled in the Japan registry for percutaneous ventricular assist device (J-PVAD). Among them, 2063 patients with CS were divided into two groups according to the PAC use. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary endpoint was the 30-day mortality, and the secondary endpoints were hemolysis, acute kidney injury, sepsis, major bleeding unrelated to the Impella, and ventricular arrhythmias within 30 days. PACs were used in 1358 patients (65.8%) who underwent an Impella implantation. The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was significantly higher in the patients with PACs than in those without. Factors associated with PAC use were the prevalence of hypertension, out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, New York Heart Association classification IV, the lesser prevalence of a heart rate less than 50, and the use of any catecholamine. The primary and secondary endpoints did not significantly differ according to the PAC use. Focusing on the patients with VA-ECMO use, the 30-day mortality and hemolysis were univariately lower in the patients with PACs. CONCLUSIONS The J-PVAD findings indicated that PAC use did not have a significant impact on the short-term outcomes in CS patients undergoing Impella support. Further prospective studies are required to explore the clinical implications of PAC-guided intensive treatment strategies in these patients.

Abstract
African spitting cobra, Naja nigricincta nigricincta (Zebra snake), envenomation is an important cause of snakebite morbidity and mortality in Namibia. The snake is endemic to central and northern Namibia as well as southern Angola. The venom is mainly cytotoxic, resulting in aggressive dermo-necrosis and often accompanied by severe systemic complications. No specific antivenom exists. Rhabdomyolysis, systemic inflammatory response, haemostatic abnormalities, infective necrotising fasciitis as well as acute kidney failure have been documented. Based on murine models, this study assessed SAVP/SAIMR - and EchiTAb-Plus-ICP polyvalent antivenom neutralisation as well as subdermal necrosis. Additional muscle, cardiac, kidney and lung histology, creatine kinase measurements and post-mortems were performed. An intravenous median lethal dose (LD50) of Naja nigricincta nigricincta venom was determined at 18.4 (CI: 16.3; 20.52) μg and a subdermal lethal dose at 15.3(CI: 12.96; 17.74)μg. The SAIMR/SAVP polyvalent antivenom median effective dose (ED50) was 1.2 ml antivenom/1 mg venom equating to a potency (WHO) of 1 ml antivenom neutralising 0.63 mg venom and approximately 240 ml (24 vials) needed for initial treatment. The ED50 of the EchiTAb-Plus-ICP was 1 ml antivenom/1 mg venom and a potency of 65 mg venom/ml antivenom (3.3 x LD50), estimating 230 ml (23 vials) for treatment. Histology and serology (creatine kinase) evidenced venom induced skeletal myotoxicity, which was not prevented by the antivenoms tested. Cardiac myonecrosis, an inflammatory response, direct venom kidney tubular necrosis and cardio-pulmonary failure were documented.

Abstract
Introduction and aims Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is an increasingly utilized therapeutic choice in patients with cardiogenic shock, however, high complication rate often counteracts with its beneficial cardiopulmonary effects. The assessment of left ventricular (LV) function in key in the management of this population, however, the most commonly used measures of LV performance are substantially load-dependent. Non-invasive myocardial work is a novel LV functional measure which may overcome this limitation and estimate LV function independent of the significantly altered loading conditions of VA-ECMO therapy. The Usefulness of Myocardial Work IndeX in ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patients (MIX-ECMO) study aims to examine the prognostic role of non-invasive myocardial work in VA-ECMO-supported patients. Methods The MIX-ECMO is a multicentric, prospective, observational study. We aim to enroll 110 patients 48-72 h after the initiation of VA-ECMO support. The patients will undergo a detailed echocardiographic examination and a central echocardiography core laboratory will quantify conventional LV functional measures and non-invasive myocardial work parameters. The primary endpoint will be failure to wean at 30 days as a composite of cardiovascular mortality, need for long-term mechanical circulatory support or heart transplantation at 30 days, and besides that other secondary objectives will also be investigated. Detailed clinical data will also be collected to compare LV functional measures to parameters with established prognostic role and also to the Survival After Veno-arterial-ECMO (SAVE) score. Conclusions The MIX-ECMO study will be the first to determine if non-invasive myocardial work has added prognostic value in patients receiving VA-ECMO support.

J Cardiovasc Transl Res 2024:10.1007/s12265-024-10522-w. [PMID: 38767797 DOI: 10.1007/s12265-024-10522-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/22/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous ventricular assist devices are increasingly relied on to maintain perfusion for cardiogenic shock patients. Optimal medical management strategies however remain uncertain from limited understanding of interventricular effects. This study analyzed the effects of pharmacologic and left-sided mechanical support on right ventricular function. METHODS A porcine model was developed to assess biventricular function during bolus pharmacologic administration before and after left-sided percutaneous ventricular assist and in cardiogenic shock. RESULTS The presence of mechanical support increased right ventricular load and stress with respect to the left ventricle. This shifted and exaggerated the relative effects of commonly used vasoactive agents. Furthermore, induction of cardiogenic shock led to differential pulmonary vascular and right ventricular responses. CONCLUSIONS Left ventricular ischemia and mechanical support altered interventricular coupling. Resulting impacts of pharmacologic agents indicate differential right heart responses and sensitivity to treatments and the need for further study to optimize biventricular function in shock patients.

The Role of Prognostic Scores in Assessing the Prognosis of Patients Admitted in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit: Emphasis on Heart Failure Patients. J Clin Med 2024; 13:2982. [PMID: 38792523 PMCID: PMC11122418 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13102982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 04/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/Objectives: Patient care in Cardiac Intensive Care Units (CICU) has evolved but data on patient characteristics and outcomes are sparse. This retrospective observational study aimed to define clinical characteristics and risk factors of CICU patients, their in-hospital and 30-day mortality, and compare it with established risk scores. Methods: Consecutive patients (n = 294, mean age 70 years, 74% males) hospitalized within 15 months were studied; APACHE II, EHMRG, GWTG-HF, and GRACE II were calculated on admission. Results: Most patients were admitted for ACS (48.3%) and acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) (31.3%). Median duration of hospitalization was 2 days (IQR = 1, 4). In-hospital infection occurred in 20%, 18% needed mechanical ventilation, 10% renal replacement therapy and 4% percutaneous ventricular assist devices (33%, 29%, 20% and 4%, respectively, for ADHF). In-hospital and 30-day mortality was 18% and 11% for all patients (29% and 23%, respectively, for ADHF). Established scores (especially APACHE II) had a good diagnostic accuracy (area under the curve-AUC). In univariate and multivariate analyses in-hospital intubation and infection, history of coronary artery disease, hypotension, uremia and hypoxemia on admission were the most important risk factors. Based on these, a proposed new score showed a diagnostic accuracy of 0.954 (AUC) for in-hospital mortality, outperforming previous scores. Conclusions: Patients are admitted mainly with ACS or ADHF, the latter with worse prognosis. Several patients need advanced support; intubation and infections adversely affect prognosis. Established scores predict mortality satisfactorily, but larger studies are needed to develop CICU-directed scores to identify risk factors, improve prediction, guide treatment and staff training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Catecholamines are commonly used as therapeutic drugs in intensive care medicine to maintain sufficient organ perfusion during shock. However, excessive or sustained adrenergic activation drives detrimental cardiac remodeling and may lead to heart failure. Whether catecholamine treatment in absence of heart failure causes persistent cardiac injury, is uncertain. In this experimental study, we assessed the course of cardiac remodeling and recovery during and after prolonged catecholamine treatment and investigated the molecular mechanisms involved. RESULTS C57BL/6N wild-type mice were assigned to 14 days catecholamine treatment with isoprenaline and phenylephrine (IsoPE), treatment with IsoPE and subsequent recovery, or healthy control groups. IsoPE improved left ventricular contractility but caused substantial cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy. However, after discontinuation of catecholamine treatment, these alterations were largely reversible. To uncover the molecular mechanisms involved, we performed RNA sequencing from isolated cardiomyocyte nuclei. IsoPE treatment resulted in a transient upregulation of genes related to extracellular matrix formation and transforming growth factor signaling. While components of adrenergic receptor signaling were downregulated during catecholamine treatment, we observed an upregulation of endothelin-1 and its receptors in cardiomyocytes, indicating crosstalk between both signaling pathways. To follow this finding, we treated mice with endothelin-1. Compared to IsoPE, treatment with endothelin-1 induced minor but longer lasting changes in cardiomyocyte gene expression. DNA methylation-guided analysis of enhancer regions identified immediate early transcription factors such as AP-1 family members Jun and Fos as key drivers of pathological gene expression following catecholamine treatment. CONCLUSIONS The results from this study show that prolonged catecholamine exposure induces adverse cardiac remodeling and gene expression before the onset of left ventricular dysfunction which has implications for clinical practice. The observed changes depend on the type of stimulus and are largely reversible after discontinuation of catecholamine treatment. Crosstalk with endothelin signaling and the downstream transcription factors identified in this study provide new opportunities for more targeted therapeutic approaches that may help to separate desired from undesired effects of catecholamine treatment.

Abstract
AIMS We analysed consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) who were enrolled into the CULPRIT-SHOCK randomized controlled trial (RCT) and those with exclusion criteria who were included into the accompanying registry. METHODS AND RESULTS In total, 1075 patients with infarct-related CS were screened for CULPRIT-SHOCK in 83 specialized centres in Europe; 369 of them had exclusion criteria for the RCT and were enrolled into the registry. Patients were followed over 1 year. The mean age was 68 years and 260 (25%) were women. 13.5%, 30.9%, and 55.6% had one-vessel, two-vessel, and three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), respectively. Significant left main (LM) coronary artery stenosis was present in 8.0%. 54.2% of the patients had cardiac arrest before admission. Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 3 patency of the infarct vessel after percutaneous coronary intervention was achieved in 83.6% of all patients. Mechanical circulatory support was applied in one-third of patients. Total mortality after 30 days and 1 year was 47.6% and 52.9%. Mortality after 1 year was highest in patients with LM coronary artery stenosis (63.5%), followed by three-vessel (56.6%), two-vessel (49.8%), and one-vessel CAD (38.6%), respectively. Mechanical complications were rare (21/1008; 2.1%) but associated with a high mortality of 66.7% after 1 year. CONCLUSION In specialized centres in Europe, short- and long-term mortality of patients with infarct-related CS treated with an invasive strategy is still high and mainly depends on the extent of CAD. Therefore, there is still a need for improvement of care to improve the prognosis of infarct-related CS.

Abstract
Norbormide (NRB) is a Rattus-selective toxicant, which was serendipitously discovered in 1964 and formerly marketed as an eco-friendly rodenticide that was deemed harmless to non-Rattus species. However, due to inconsistent efficacy and the emergence of second-generation anticoagulants, its usage declined, with registration lapsing in 2003. NRBs' lethal action in rats entails irreversible vasoconstriction of peripheral arteries, likely inducing cardiac damage: however, the precise chain of events leading to fatality and the target organs involved remain elusive. This unique contractile effect is exclusive to rat arteries and is induced solely by the endo isomers of NRB, hinting at a specific receptor involvement. Understanding NRB's mechanism of action is crucial for developing species-selective toxicants as alternatives to the broad-spectrum ones currently in use. Recent research efforts have focused on elucidating its cellular mechanisms and sites of action using novel NRB derivatives. The key findings are as follows: NRB selectively opens the rat mitochondrial permeability transition pore, which may be a factor that contributes to its lethal effect; it inhibits rat vascular KATP channels, which potentially controls its Rattus-selective vasoconstricting activity; and it possesses intracellular binding sites in both sensitive and insensitive cells, as revealed by fluorescent derivatives. These studies have led to the development of a prodrug with enhanced pharmacokinetic and toxicological profiles, which is currently undergoing registration as a novel efficacious eco-sustainable Rattus-selective toxicant. The NRB-fluorescent derivatives also show promise as non-toxic probes for intracellular organelle labelling. This review documents in more detail these developments and their implications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Placement of percutaneous ventricular support devices such as an intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) or Abiomed Impella device can treat severe cardiogenic shock. Critical care transport medicine (CCTM) providers frequently manage patients supported by these devices during interfacility transfers, often using a helicopter air ambulance (HAA). An understanding of patient needs and management during transport is essential to informing crew configuration and training, and this study adds to the limited existing data on the HAA transport of this complex patient population. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart review of all HAA transports of patients with an IABP (n = 38) or Impella (n = 11) device at a single CCTM program from 2016 to 2020. We evaluated transport times and composite variables for the frequency of adverse events, condition changes requiring critical care evaluation, and critical care interventions. RESULTS In this observational cohort, patients with an Impella device more frequently had an advanced airway and at least 1 vasopressor or inotrope active prior to transport. While flight times were similar, CCTM teams remained at referring facilities longer for patients with an Impella device (99 vs 68 minutes; p = 0.0097). Compared to patients with an IABP, patients with an Impella device more frequently had a condition change requiring critical care evaluation (100% vs 42%; p = 0.0005) and more frequently received critical care interventions (100% vs 53%; p = 0.0037). Adverse events were uncommon and did not differ for patients with an Impella device compared to an IABP (27% vs 11%; p = 0.178). CONCLUSION Patients requiring mechanical circulatory support with IABP and Impella devices frequently require critical care management during transport. Clinicians should ensure the CCTM team has appropriate staffing, training, and resources to meet the critical care needs of these high acuity patients.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a heterogeneous syndrome with high mortality and a growing incidence. It is characterized by an imbalance between the tissue oxygen demands and the capacity of the cardiovascular system to meet these demands, due to acute cardiac dysfunction. Historically, acute coronary syndromes have been the primary cause of CS. However, non-ischemic cases have seen a rise in incidence. The pathophysiology involves ischemic damage of the myocardium and a sympathetic, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and inflammatory response, perpetuating the situation of tissue hypoperfusion and ultimately leading to multiorgan dysfunction. The characterization of CS patients through a triaxial assessment and the widespread use of the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) scale has allowed standardization of the severity stratification of CS; this, coupled with early detection and the "hub and spoke" approach, could contribute to improving the prognosis of these patients.

Abstract
Sepsis is caused by the body's dysregulated response to infection, which can lead to multiorgan injury and death. Patients with sepsis may develop acute cardiac dysfunction, termed septic cardiomyopathy, which is a global but reversible dysfunction of both sides of the heart. This narrative review discusses the mechanistic changes in the heart during septic cardiomyopathy, its diagnosis, existing treatment options regarding severity and course, and emerging treatment approaches. Although no standardized definition for septic cardiomyopathy exists, it is described as a reversible myocardial dysfunction that typically resolves within 7 to 10 days. Septic cardiomyopathy is often diagnosed based on electrocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, biomarkers, and direct invasive and noninvasive measures of cardiac output. Presently, the treatment of septic cardiomyopathy is similar to that of sepsis, primarily focusing on acute interventions. Treatments for cardiomyopathy often include angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and diuretics. However, because of profound hypotension in sepsis, many cardiomyopathy treatments are contraindicated in patients with septic cardiomyopathy. Substantial efforts have been made to study the pathophysiological mechanisms and diagnostic options; however, the lack of a uniform definition for septic cardiomyopathy is challenging for physicians when considering treatments. Another challenge for physicians is that the treatment for septic cardiomyopathy has only focused on acute intervention, whereas the treatment for other cardiomyopathies has been provided on a long-term basis. A better understanding of the underlying mechanisms of septic cardiomyopathy may contribute to the development of a unified definition of the condition and novel treatment options.

Abstract
(1) Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Frailty and cardiovascular diseases are intertwined, commonly sharing risk factors and exhibiting bidirectional relationships. The relationship of frailty and non-acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock (non-AMI-CS) is poorly described. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the National Inpatient Sample from 2016 to 2020 and identified all hospitalizations for non-AMI-CS. We classified them into frail and non-frail groups according to the hospital frailty risk score cut-off of 5 and compared in-hospital outcomes. (3) Results: A total of 503,780 hospitalizations for non-AMI-CS were identified. Most hospitalizations involved frail adults (80.0%). Those with frailty had higher odds of in-hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.03-2.20, p < 0.001), do-not-resuscitate status, and discharge to a skilled nursing facility compared with those without frailty. They also had higher odds of in-hospital adverse events, such as acute kidney injury, delirium, and longer length of stay. Importantly, non-AMI-CS hospitalizations in the frail group had lower use of mechanical circulatory support but not rates of cardiac transplantation. (4) Conclusions: Frailty is highly prevalent among non-AMI-CS hospitalizations. Those accompanied by frailty are often associated with increased rates of morbidity and mortality compared to those without frailty.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myocarditis is a serious condition that carries with it a high rate of morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE This review highlights the pearls and pitfalls of myocarditis, including presentation, diagnosis, and management in the emergency department (ED) based on current evidence. DISCUSSION Myocarditis is an inflammatory syndrome of myocardium, most often resulting from a viral infection, that can cause life-threatening cardiovascular collapse. It has a highly variable presentation and no widely available specific diagnostic test, making it a challenging diagnosis. Emergency clinicians should obtain an electrocardiogram and perform bedside ultrasound to assess cardiac function. Treatment in the ED is largely supportive, focusing on resuscitation, cardiovascular support, cardiology specialist consultation, and appropriate disposition. CONCLUSIONS An understanding of myocarditis can assist emergency clinicians in diagnosing and managing this potentially deadly disease.

Discussion of hemodynamic optimization strategies and the canonical understanding of hemodynamics during biventricular mechanical support in cardiogenic shock: does the flow balance make the difference? Clin Res Cardiol 2024; 113:602-611. [PMID: 38261027 PMCID: PMC10954998 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-024-02377-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices may stabilize patients with severe cardiogenic shock (CS) following myocardial infarction (MI). However, the canonical understanding of hemodynamics related to the determination of the native cardiac output (CO) does not explain or support the understanding of combined left and right MCS. To ensure the most optimal therapy control, the current principles of hemodynamic measurements during biventricular support should be re-evaluated. METHODS Here we report a protocol of hemodynamic optimization strategy during biventricular MCS (VA-ECMO and left ventricular Impella) in a case series of 10 consecutive patients with severe cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction. During the protocol, the flow rates of both devices were switched in opposing directions (+ / - 0.7 l/min) for specified times. To address the limitations of existing hemodynamic measurement strategies during biventricular support, different measurement techniques (thermodilution, Fick principle, mixed venous oxygen saturation) were performed by pulmonary artery catheterization. Additionally, Doppler ultrasound was performed to determine the renal resistive index (RRI) as an indicator of renal perfusion. RESULTS The comparison between condition 1 (ECMO flow > Impella flow) and condition 2 (Impella flow > VA-ECMO flow) revealed significant changes in hemodynamics. In detail, compared to condition 1, condition 2 results in a significant increase in cardiac output (3.86 ± 1.11 vs. 5.44 ± 1.13 l/min, p = 0.005) and cardiac index (2.04 ± 0.64 vs. 2.85 ± 0.69, p = 0.013), and mixed venous oxygen saturation (56.44 ± 6.97% vs. 62.02 ± 5.64% p = 0.049), whereas systemic vascular resistance decreased from 1618 ± 337 to 1086 ± 306 s*cm-5 (p = 0.002). Similarly, RRI decreased in condition 2 (0.662 ± 0.05 vs. 0.578 ± 0.06, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS To monitor and optimize MCS in CS, PA catheterization for hemodynamic measurement is applicable. Higher Impella flow is superior to higher VA-ECMO flow resulting in a more profound increase in CO with subsequent improvement of organ perfusion.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a high-mortality condition despite technological and therapeutic advances. One key to potentially improving CS prognosis is understanding patient heterogeneity and which patients may benefit most from different treatment options, a key element of which is sex differences. While cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have historically been considered a male-dominant condition, the field is increasingly aware that females are also a substantial portion of the patient population. While estrogen has been implicated in protective roles against CVD and tissue hypoxia, its role in CS remains unclear. Clinically, female CS patients tend to be older, have more severe comorbidities and are more likely to have non-acute myocardial infarction etiologies with preserved ejection fractions. Female CS patients are more likely to receive pharmacotherapy while less likely to receive mechanical circulatory support. There is increased short-term mortality in females, although long-term mortality is similar between the sexes. More sex-specific and age-stratified research needs to be done to fully understand the relevant pathophysiological differences in CS, to better recognize and manage CS patients and reduce its mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the influence of presenting electrocardiographic (ECG) changes on prognosis in acute coronary syndrome cardiogenic shock (ACS-CS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary angiography (PCI). BACKGROUND The effect of initial ECG changes such as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) versus non-STEMI among patients ACS-CS on prognosis remains unclear. METHODS We analysed data from consecutive patients with ACS-CS enrolled in the Victorian Cardiac Outcomes registry between 2014 and 2020. Inverse probability of treatment weighting analysis (IPTW) was used to assess the effect of ECG changes on 30-day mortality. RESULTS Of 1564 patients with ACS-CS who underwent PCI, 161 had non-STEMI and 1403 had STEMI on ECG. The mean age was 66 ± 13 years, and 74 % (1152) were males. Patients with non-STEMI compared to STEMI were older (70 ± 12 vs 65 ± 13 years), had higher rates of diabetes (34 % vs 21 %), prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (14 % vs 3.3 %), peripheral arterial disease (10.6 % vs 4.1 %, p < 0.01), and lower baseline eGFR (53.8 [37.1, 75.4] vs 65.3 [46.3, 87.8] ml/min/1.73m2), all p ≤ 0.01. Non-STEMI patients were more likely to have a culprit left circumflex artery (29 % vs 20 %) and more often underwent multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (30 % vs 20 %) but had lower rates of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (21 % vs 39 %), all p ≤ 0.01. Propensity score analysis with IPTW confirmed that non-STEMI ECG was associated with lower odds for 30-day all-cause mortality (OR 0.47 [0.32, 0.69], p < 0.001), and 30-day major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (OR 0.48 [0.33, 0.70]). CONCLUSIONS In patients undergoing PCI, Non-STEMI as compared to STEMI on index ECG was associated with approximately half the relative risk of both 30-day mortality and 30-day MACCE and could be a useful variable to integrate in ACS-CS risk scores.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported the association between myocardial infarction (MI) and air pollution (AP). However, limited information is available regarding the long-term effects of AP on the relative incidence rates of ST-elevation MI (STEMI) and Non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI). We investigated the association between long-term exposure to AP and the incidence of STEMI. Between January 2006 and December 2015, a total of 45,619 eligible patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) were enrolled in the Korea Acute MI Registry (KAMIR) and KAMIR-National Institutes of Health. Mixed-effect regression models were used to examine the association between the annual average ambient AP before MI onset and the incidence of STEMI, and to evaluate the association of AP with the incidence of in-hospital cardiogenic shock. After mixed-effect regression model analysis, particulate matter (PM) 10 µm or less in diameter (PM10) was associated with increased incidence of STEMI compared with NSTEMI (odds ratio [OR] 1.009, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.002-1.016; p = 0.012). For in-hospital cardiogenic shock complication, PM10 and SO2 were associated with increased risk, PM10 (OR 1.033, 95% CI 1.018-1.050; p < 0.001), SO2 (OR 1.104, 95% CI 1.006-1.212; p = 0.037), respectively. Policy-level strategies and clinical efforts to reduce AP exposure are necessary to prevent the incidence of STEMI and severe cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction or failure occurs in more than 30% of patients in cardiogenic shock (CS). However, the importance of timely diagnosis of prognostically relevant impairment of RV function is often underestimated. Moreover, data regarding the impact of mechanical circulatory support like the Impella on RV function are rare. Here, we investigated the effects of the left ventricular (LV) Impella on RV function. Moreover, we aimed to identify the most optimal and the earliest applicable parameter for bedside monitoring of RV function by comparing the predictive abilities of three common RV function parameters: the pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi), the ratio of right atrial pressure to pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (RA/PCWP), and the right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI). Methods: The data of 50 patients with CS complicating myocardial infarction, supported with different flow levels of LV Impella, were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Enhancing Impella flow (1.5 to 2.5 L/min ± 0.4 L/min) did not lead to a significant variation in PAPi (p = 0.717), RA/PCWP (p = 0.601), or RVSWI (p = 0.608), indicating no additional burden for the RV. PAPi revealed the best ability to connect RV function with global hemodynamic parameters, i.e., cardiac index (CI; p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.181-0.663), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP; p = 0.005, 95% CI: -6.721--1.26), central venous pressure (CVP; p < 0.001, 95% CI: -7.89-5.575), and indicators of tissue perfusion (central venous oxygen saturation (SvO2); p = 0.008, 95% CI: 1.096-7.196). Conclusions: LV Impella does not impair RV function. Moreover, PAPi seems to be to the most effective and valid predictor for early bedside monitoring of RV function.

Abstract
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) offer mechanical support for patients with cardiogenic shock by unloading the impaired ventricle and increasing cardiac outflow and subsequent tissue perfusion. Their ability to adjust ventricular assistance allows for rapid and safe dynamic changes in cardiac load, which can be used with direct measures of chamber pressures to quantify cardiac pathophysiologic state, predict response to interventions, and unmask vulnerabilities such as limitations of left-sided support efficacy due to intolerance of the right heart. We defined hemodynamic metrics in five pigs with dynamic peripheral transvalvular VAD (pVAD) support to the left ventricle. Metrics were obtained across a spectrum of disease states, including left ventricular ischemia induced by titrated microembolization of a coronary artery and right ventricular strain induced by titrated microembolization of the pulmonary arteries. A sweep of different pVAD speeds confirmed mechanisms of right heart decompensation after left-sided support and revealed intolerance. In contrast to the systemic circulation, pulmonary vascular compliance dominated in the right heart and defined the ability of the right heart to adapt to left-sided pVAD unloading. We developed a clinically accessible metric to measure pulmonary vascular compliance at different pVAD speeds that could predict right heart efficiency and tolerance to left-sided pVAD support. Findings in swine were validated with retrospective hemodynamic data from eight patients on pVAD support. This methodology and metric could be used to track right heart tolerance, predict decompensation before right heart failure, and guide titration of device speed and the need for biventricular support.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiogenic shock is associated with high mortality. In refractory shock, it is unclear if mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices improve survival. We conducted a network meta-analysis to determine which MCS devices confers greatest benefit. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases through 27 August 2023 for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and propensity score-matched studies (PSMs). We conducted frequentist network meta-analysis, investigating mortality (either 30 days or in-hospital) as the primary outcome. We assessed risk of bias (Cochrane risk of bias 2.0 tool/Newcastle-Ottawa Scale) and as sensitivity analysis reconstructed survival data from published survival curves for a one-stage unadjusted individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis using a stratified Cox model. RESULTS We included 38 studies (48,749 patients), mostly reporting on patients with Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Intervention shock stages C-E cardiogenic shock. Compared with no MCS, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with intra-aortic balloon pump (ECMO-IABP; network odds ratio [OR]: 0.54, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.33-0.86, moderate certainty) was associated with lower mortality. There were no differences in mortality between ECMO, IABP, microaxial ventricular assist device (mVAD), ECMO-mVAD, centrifugal VAD, or mVAD-IABP and no MCS (all very low certainty). Our one-stage IPD survival meta-analysis based on the stratified Cox model found only ECMO-IABP was associated with lower mortality (hazard ratio, HR, 0.55, 95% CI 0.46-0.66). CONCLUSION In patients with cardiogenic shock, ECMO-IABP may reduce mortality, while other MCS devices did not reduce mortality. However, this must be interpreted within the context of inter-study heterogeneity and limited certainty of evidence.

The Impact of Inotropes and Vasopressors on Cerebral Oxygenation in Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Narrative Review. Brain Sci 2024; 14:117. [PMID: 38391692 PMCID: PMC10886736 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci14020117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) are critical neurological conditions that necessitate specialized care in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Managing cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) is of primary importance in these patients. To maintain targeted MAP and CPP, vasopressors and/or inotropes are commonly used. However, their effects on cerebral oxygenation are not fully understood. The aim of this review is to provide an up-to date review regarding the current uses and pathophysiological issues related to the use of vasopressors and inotropes in TBI and SAH patients. According to our findings, despite achieving similar hemodynamic parameters and CPP, the effects of various vasopressors and inotropes on cerebral oxygenation, local CBF and metabolism are heterogeneous. Therefore, a more accurate understanding of the cerebral activity of these medications is crucial for optimizing patient management in the ICU setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) continues to play an essential role in organ support in cardiogenic shock or acute respiratory distress syndrome and bridging to transplantation. The main purpose of the present survey was to define which clinical and organizational practices are adopted for the administration of physiotherapy in adult patients undergoing ECMO support worldwide. METHODS This international survey was conceived in November 2021. The survey launch was announced at the 10th EuroELSO (European ELSO chapter) Congress, London, May 2022. RESULTS The survey returned 32 questionnaires from 29 centers across 14 countries. 17 centers (53.1%) had more than 30 intensive care unit beds available and most (46.8%) were able to care for five to 10 patients on extracorporeal life support simultaneously. The predominant physiotherapist-to-patient ratio was 1:>5 (37.5%); physiotherapy was available 5/7 days and 7/7 days by 31.2% and 25% respectively. Respiratory physiotherapy was not defined by a specific protocol in most centers (46.8%) while 31.2% declared that the treatment commences less than 12 h after sedation is stopped/reduced. Mostly, early physiotherapy in non-cooperative ventilated patients was provided within the first 48 h (68.6%) and consisted of as passive range of motion, in-bed positioning, and splinting. Postural passages and sitting were provided to patients and walking was included in those advanced motor activities which are part of the treatment. CONCLUSION Physiotherapy in patients on ECLS is feasible, however substantial variability exists between centers with a trend of delivering not protocolized and understaffed rehabilitation practices.

Abstract
ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a leading cause of cardiogenic shock (CS) and carries substantial mortality. Cardiac power output (CPO) is the strongest predictor of clinical outcome in CS, and worse outcomes result from concomitant right and left ventricular failure. Right ventricular performance is calculated using right sided CPO. Our aim was to measure the right sided CPO and compute their ratio to predict in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock. This was a retrospective observational study of consecutive STEMI patients with CS that developed within the first 24hours of admission requiring left and right cardiac catheterization at a large tertiary care center from January 2014-December 2018. One hundred sixty-four patients identified with STEMI; 46% (75) excluded due to incomplete data. 88 remaining patients, 52.8% (47) developed CS. 98.9% within 24 hours. Mean left & right CPO 0.62 (SD 0.3) and 0.22 (SD 0.13), PAPi score 1.81. Logistic regression analysis indicated odds ratio of in-hospital mortality lower for low left CPO, high right CPO and low ratio of left to right CPO (95% CI; 0.69, 0.34, 1.20; 1.38, 0.87, 2.20; 0.52, 0.28, 1.00 respectively). This is the first study to assess right sided CPO and ratio of right and left side CPO and mortality. Our study indicates that there is trend towards higher in-hospital mortality in patients with high right sided CPO and lower ratio of left to right CPO. The exploratory results of this study need to be confirmed in a larger population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Takotsubo syndrome (TS) during pregnancy and postpartum is rare but may lead to significant maternal and fetal morbidity. We compared clinical characteristics and prognosis according to [a] timing of presentation (pregnancy vs post-partum) and [b] modes of delivery (cesarean section vs vaginal delivery). METHODS Systematic review of articles published in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Medline databases from inception to July 30, 2023. Patient demographics, obstetric, electrocardiographic, laboratory, echocardiographic characteristics, and prognosis were summarized descriptively. RESULTS An initial database search identified 2162 articles, of which 81 studies were included in this review. TS during pregnancy can have emotional, obstetric, and metabolic triggers and has a higher proportion of adverse fetal outcomes when compared with women who developed TS postpartum. Women with TS after cesarean section had an earlier onset and higher proportion of anesthesia use when compared with those who developed TS after vaginal delivery. There were no differences regarding the degree of systolic dysfunction or the need for advanced therapies, including ventilator support, intra-aortic balloon pump, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation among groups. CONCLUSIONS TS is associated with various triggers and adverse fetal outcomes when it develops during pregnancy than in the postpartum period. TS occurs more rapidly and with a more aggressive course after cesarean section than after vaginal delivery.

Abstract
Heart Failure (HF) remains a global health challenge, marked by its widespread prevalence and substantial resource utilization. Although the prognosis has improved in recent decades due to the treatments implemented, it continues to generate high morbidity and mortality in the medium to long term. Interventional cardiology has emerged as a crucial player in HF management, offering a diverse array of percutaneous treatments for both acute and chronic HF. This article aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the role of percutaneous interventions in HF patients, with a primary focus on key features, clinical effectiveness, and safety outcomes. Despite the growing utilization of these interventions, there remain critical gaps in the existing body of evidence. Consequently, the need for high-quality randomized clinical trials and extensive international registries is emphasized to shed light on the specific patient populations and clinical scenarios that stand to benefit most from these innovative devices.

Abstract
Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device therapy is one of the primary treatment options for end-stage heart failure (HF), whereby a mechanical pump is integrated with the failing heart to maintain adequate tissue perfusion. The ISO 14708-5:2020 standard prescribes generic guidelines for nonclinical device evaluation and system performance testing of MCS devices using a mock circulatory loop (MCL). However, the utility of MCLs in premarket regulatory submissions of MCS devices is ambiguous, and the specific disease states that the device is intended to treat are not usually simulated. Hence, we aim to outline the potential of MCLs as a valuable regulatory science tool for characterizing MCS device systems by adequately representing target clinical-use HF conditions on the bench. Target pathophysiologic hemodynamics of HF conditions (i.e., cardiogenic shock (CS), left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy secondary to hypertension, and coronary artery disease), along with a healthy adult at rest and a healthy adult during exercise are provided as recommended test conditions. The conditions are characterized based on LV, aorta, and left atrium pressures using recommended cardiac hemodynamic indices such as systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressure, mean cardiac output (CO), cardiac cycle time, and systemic vascular resistance. This study is a first step toward standardizing MCLs to generate well-defined target HF conditions used to evaluate MCS devices.

Abstract
The treatment of critically ill patients remains an evolving and controversial issue. Mechanical circulatory support through a percutaneous approach for the management of cardiogenic shock has taken place in recent years. The combined use of IABP and the Impella 2.5 device may have a role to play for this group of patients. A simulation approach may help with a quantitative assessment of the achievable degree of assistance. In this paper, we analyse the interaction between the Impella 2.5 pump applied as the LVAD and IABP using the numerical simulator of the cardiovascular system developed in our laboratory. Starting with pathological conditions reproduced using research data, the simulations were performed by setting different rotational speeds for the LVAD and driving the IABP in full mode (1:1) or partial mode (1:2, 1:3 and 1:4). The effects induced by drug administration during the assistance were also simulated. The haemodynamic parameters under investigation were aa follows: mean aortic pressure, systolic and diastolic aortic pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, mean left and right atrial pressure, cardiac output, cardiac index, left and right ventricular end-systolic volume, left ventricular end-diastolic volume and mean coronary blood flow. The energetic variables considered in this study were as follows: left and right ventricular external work and left and right atrial pressure-volume area. The outcome of our simulations shows that the combined use of IABP and Impella 2.5 achieves adequate support in the acute phase of cardiogenic shock compared to each standalone device. This would allow further stabilisation and transfer to a transplant centre should the escalation of treatment be required.

Abstract
The objectives of this study are to characterize the hemodynamics of cardiogenic shock (CS) through a computational model validated using a mock circulatory loop (MCL) and to perform sensitivity analysis and uncertainty propagation studies after the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Validation and Verification (V&V) guidelines. The uncertainties in cardiac cycle time ( ), total resistance ( ), and total volume ( ) were quantified in the MCL and propagated in the computational model. Both models were used to quantify the pressure in the left atrium, aorta (Ao), and left ventricle (LV), along with the flow through the aortic valve, reaching a good agreement. The results suggest that 1) is the main source of uncertainty in the variables under study, 2) showed its greatest impact on the uncertainty of Ao hemodynamics, and 3) mostly affected the uncertainty of LV pressure and Ao flow at the late-systolic phase. Comparison of uncertainty levels in the computational and experimental results was used to infer the presence of additional contributing factors that were not captured and propagated during a first analysis. Future work will expand upon this study to analyze the impact of mechanical circulatory support devices, such as ventricular assist devices, under CS conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The in-hospital mortality of cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high (28% to 45%). As a result, several studies developed prediction models to assess the mortality risk and provide guidance on treatment, including CardShock and IABP-SHOCK II scores, which performed modestly in external validation studies, reflecting the heterogeneity of the CS populations. Few articles established predictive scores of CS based on Asian people with a higher burden of comorbidities than Caucasians. We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of a contemporary Asian population with CS, identify risk factors, and develop a predictive scoring model. METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted between 2014 and 2019 to collect the patients who presented with all-cause CS in the emergency department of a single medical center in Taiwan. We divided patients into subgroups of CS related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS) or heart failure (HF-CS). The outcome was all-cause 30-day mortality. We built the prediction model based on the hazard ratio of significant variables, and the cutoff point of each predictor was determined using the Youden index. We also assessed the discrimination ability of the risk score using the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS We enrolled 225 patients with CS. One hundred and seven patients (47.6%) were due to AMI-CS, and ninety-eight patients among them received reperfusion therapy. Forty-nine patients (21.8%) eventually died within 30 days. Fifty-three patients (23.55%) presented with platelet counts < 155 × 103/μL, which were negatively associated with a 30-day mortality of CS in the restrictive cubic spline plot, even within the normal range of platelet counts. We identified four predictors: platelet counts < 200 × 103/μL (HR 2.574, 95% CI 1.379-4.805, p = 0.003), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% (HR 2.613, 95% CI 1.020-6.692, p = 0.045), age > 71 years (HR 2.452, 95% CI 1.327-4.531, p = 0.004), and lactate > 2.7 mmol/L (HR 1.967, 95% CI 1.069-3.620, p = 0.030). The risk score ended with a maximum of 5 points and showed an AUC (95% CI) of 0.774 (0.705-0.843) for all patients, 0.781 (0.678-0.883), and 0.759 (0.662-0.855) for AMI-CS and HF-CS sub-groups, respectively, all p < 0.001. CONCLUSIONS Based on four parameters, platelet counts, LVEF, age, and lactate (PEAL), this model showed a good predictive performance for all-cause mortality at 30 days in the all patients, AMI-CS, and HF-CS subgroups. The restrictive cubic spline plot showed a significantly negative correlation between initial platelet counts and 30-day mortality risk in the AMI-CS and HF-CS subgroups.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2598. [PMID: 38004576 PMCID: PMC10674156 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15112598] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: In critically ill cardiac patients, parenteral and enteral food and drug administration routes may be used. However, it is not well known how drug absorption and metabolism are altered in this group of adult patients. Here, we analyze drug absorption and metabolism in patients after cardiogenic shock using the pharmacokinetics of therapeutically indicated esomeprazole. (2) Methods: The pharmacokinetics of esomeprazole were analyzed in a consecutive series of patients with cardiogenic shock and controls before and after elective cardiac surgery. Esomeprazole was administered orally or with a nasogastric tube and once as an intravenous infusion. (3) Results: The maximum plasma concentration and AUC of esomeprazole were, on average, only half in critically ill patients compared with controls (p < 0.005) and remained lower even seven days later. Interestingly, esomeprazole absorption was also markedly compromised on day 1 after elective surgery. The metabolites of esomeprazole showed a high variability between patients. The esomeprazole sulfone/esomeprazole ratio reflecting CYP3A4 activity was significantly lower in critically ill patients even up to day 7, and this ratio was negatively correlated with CRP values (p = 0.002). The 5'-OH-esomeprazole and 5-O-desmethyl-esomeprazol ratios reflecting CYP2C19 activity did not differ significantly between critically ill and control patients. (4) Conclusions: Gastrointestinal drug absorption can be significantly reduced in critically ill cardiac patients compared with elective patients with stable cardiovascular disease. The decrease in bioavailability indicates that, under these conditions, any vital medication should be administered intravenously to maintain high levels of medications. After shock, hepatic metabolism via the CYP3A4 enzyme may be reduced.

Impact of Acute Myocardial Infarction Type on Prognosis in Female Patients With Cardiogenic Shock. Am J Cardiol 2023; 206:116-124. [PMID: 37690149 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjcard.2023.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 07/29/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023]
Abstract
There are limited data about mid-term prognosis according to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) type in female patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS). In this study, we evaluated the impact of AMI type on prognosis in female patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for AMI complicated by CS. A total of 184 female patients who underwent PCI for AMI complicated by CS were enrolled from 12 centers in the Republic of Korea. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to AMI type: the ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n = 114) and the non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (n = 70) group. Primary outcome was a major adverse cardiac event (MACE) (defined as a composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction, or repeat revascularization). Propensity-score matching analysis was performed to reduce selection bias and potential confounding factors. During 12-month follow-up, a total of 73 MACEs occurred (ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction group, 47 [41.2%] vs non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction group, 26 [37.1%], p = 0.643). Multivariate analysis revealed no significant difference in the incidence of MACE at 12 months between the 2 groups (adjusted hazard ratio 1.16, 95% confidence interval 0.70 to 2.37, p = 0.646). After propensity-score matching, the incidence of MACE at 12 months remained similar between the 2 groups (hazard ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval 0.69 to 2.52, p = 0.413). The similarity in MACEs between the 2 groups was consistent across a variety of subgroups. In conclusion, after adjusting for baseline differences, AMI clinical type did not appear to increase the risk of MACEs at 12 months in female patients who underwent emergency PCI for AMI complicated by CS.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) can be defined as a range of illnesses that describes a state where cardiac output, which is the blood volume ejected from the left ventricle every minute that leads to tissue perfusion of nutrients, is insufficient in providing adequate oxygenation to the systemic circulation. The incidence of CS on admission has increased in recent years, with the six- and 12-month mortality rates remaining unchanged. The purpose of this literature review is to bring forth several parameters that have been utilized in the past 10 years to predict CS mortality. Further studies to implement these parameters in management algorithms, along with early screenings and advanced treatment options such as mechanical cardiac assist devices, can improve the mortality associated with CS. This literature-based review was conducted by evaluating current research focusing on the clinical presentation of CS and predictors of CS. PubMed served as the primary database for article retrieval due to access. Two searches were conducted: One for clinical presentations and advanced metrics for CS and another for early predictors for CS. Thirteen articles regarding clinical presentation and seven articles regarding early predictors were selected. Three tools/scores and five laboratory tests were identified that allowed clinicians to prognosticate outcomes in patients suffering from CS based on clinical and laboratory presentations. Examining these predictors will allow earlier intervention in the development of CS and potentially help lower the mortality rate of CS. The eventual creation of a scoring system that incorporates multiple metrics discussed in this review can provide the most accurate prognosis of CS, which can lead to more targeted interventions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited data exist around the utility of intracoronary imaging (ICI) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and cardiogenic shock (CS), who are inherently at a high risk of stent thrombosis (ST). METHODS All PCI procedures for ACS patients with CS in England and Wales between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively analysed, stratified into two groups: ICI and angiography-guided groups. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to examine odds ratios (OR) of in-hospital outcomes, including major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE; composite of all-cause mortality, acute stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA), and reinfarction) and major bleeding, in the ICI-guided group compared with angiography-guided PCI. RESULTS Of 15,738 PCI procedures, 1240(7.9%) were ICI-guided. The rate of ICI use amongst those with CS more than doubled from 2014 (5.7%) to 2020 (13.3%). The ICI-guided group were predominantly younger, males, with a higher proportion of non-ST-elevation ACS and ST. MACCE was significantly lower in the ICI-guided group compared with the angiography-guided group (crude: 29.8% vs. 38.2%, adjusted odds ratio (OR) 0.65 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.56-0.76), driven by lower all-cause mortality (28.6% vs. 37.0%, OR 0.65 95% CI 0.55-0.75). There were no differences in other secondary outcomes between groups. CONCLUSION ICI use among CS patients has more than doubled over 6 years but remains significantly under-utilized, with less than 1-in-6 patients in receipt of ICI-guided PCI by 2020. ICI-guided PCI is associated with prognostic benefits in CS patients and should be more frequently utilized to increase their long-term survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for ventricular septal rupture (VSR) after myocardial infarction (MI) and the preoperative use of extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to surgery. METHODS We included patients undergoing surgery for VSR from January 2009 until June 2021 from two centers in Germany. Patients were separated into two groups, those with and without ECLS, before surgery. Pre- and intraoperative data, outcome, and survival during follow-up were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 47 consecutive patients were included. Twenty-five patients were in the ECLS group, and 22 were in the group without ECLS. All the ECLS-group patients were in cardiogenic shock preoperatively. Most patients in the ECLS group were transferred from another hospital [n = 21 (84%) vs. no-ECLS (n = 12 (57.1%), p = 0.05]. We observed a higher number of postoperative bleeding complications favoring the group without ECLS [n = 6 (28.6%) vs. n = 16 (64%), p < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the persistence of residual ventricular septal defect (VSD) between groups [ECLS n = 4 (16.7%) and no-ECLS n = 3 (13.6%)], p = 1.0. Total in-hospital mortality was 38.3%. There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality [n = 6 (27.3%) vs. n = 12 (48%), p = 0.11] and survival at last follow-up between the groups (p = 0.50). CONCLUSION We detected no statistical difference in the in-hospital and long-term mortality in patients who received ECLS as supportive therapy after MI-induced VSR compared to those without ECLS. ECLS could be an effective procedure applied as a bridge to surgery in patients with VSR and cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
Septic shock management in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) is challenging due to the complex interaction of pathophysiology between vasodilatory and cardiogenic shock, complicating how to optimally deploy fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, and mechanical circulatory support devices. Because mixed shock portends high mortality and morbidity, familiarity with quality, contemporary clinical evidence surrounding available therapeutic tools is needed to address the resultant wide range of complications that can arise. This review integrates pathophysiology principles and clinical recommendations to provide an organized, topic-based review of the nuanced intricacies of managing sepsis in the CICU.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock causes hypoperfusion within the microcirculation, leading to impaired oxygen delivery, cell death, and progression of multiple organ failure. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is the last line of treatment for cardiac failure. The goal of MCS is to ensure end-organ perfusion by maintaining perfusion pressure and total blood flow. However, machine-blood interactions and the nonobvious translation of global macrohemodynamics into the microcirculation suggest that the use of MCS may not necessarily be associated with improved capillary flow. With the use of hand-held vital microscopes, it is possible to assess the microcirculation at the bedside. The paucity of literature on the use of microcirculatory assessment suggests the need for an in-depth look into microcirculatory assessment within the context of MCS. The purpose of this review is to discuss the possible interactions between MCS and microcirculation, as well as to describe the research conducted in this area. Regarding sublingual microcirculation, 3 types of MCS will be discussed: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, and microaxial flow pumps (Impella).

[PMID: 37100652 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2023.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/10/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical utility of the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) for the management of cardiogenic shock (CS) remains controversial. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis exploring the association between PAC use and mortality among patients with CS. METHODS Published studies of patients with CS treated with or without PAC hemodynamic guidance were retrieved from MEDLINE and PubMed databases from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2021. The primary outcome was mortality, which was defined as a combination of in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes assessed 30-day and in-hospital mortality separately. To assess the quality of nonrandomized studies, the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), a well-established scoring system was used. We analyzed outcomes for each study using NOS with a threshold value of >6, indicating high quality. We also performed analyses based on the countries of the studies conducted. RESULTS Six studies with a total of 930,530 patients with CS were analyzed. Of these, 85,769 patients were in the PAC-treated group, and 844,761 patients did not receive a PAC. PAC use was associated with a significantly lower risk of mortality (PAC: 4.6 % to 41.5 % vs control: 18.8 % to 51.0 %) (OR 0.63, 95 % CI: 0.41-0.97, I2 = 0.96). Subgroup analyses demonstrated no difference in the risk of mortality between NOS ≥ 6 studies and NOS < 6 studies (p-interaction = 0.57), 30-day and in-hospital mortality (p-interaction = 0.83), or the country of origin of studies (p-interaction = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS The use of PAC in patients with CS may be associated with decreased mortality. These data support the need for a randomized controlled trial testing the utility of PAC use in CS.

Abstract
In many countries, the aging population and the higher incidence of comorbid conditions have resulted in an ever-growing need for cardiac interventions. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of these interventions, associated with higher mortalities, chronic or end-stage kidney disease, readmission rates, and hospital and post-discharge costs. The AKI pathophysiology includes contrast-associated AKI, hemodynamic changes, cardiorenal syndrome, and atheroembolism. Preventive measures include limiting contrast media dose, optimizing hemodynamic conditions, and limiting exposure to other nephrotoxins. This review article outlines the current state-of-art knowledge regarding AKI pathophysiology, risk factors, preventive measures, and management strategies in the peri-interventional period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains the leading cause of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-related mortality. Contemporary studies have shown no sex-related differences in mortality. METHODS STEMI-CS patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) were included based on a dedicated prospective STEMI database. We compared sex-specific differences in CS characteristics at baseline, during hospitalization, and in subsequent clinical outcomes. Endpoints included all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). RESULTS Of 3202 consecutive STEMI patients, 210 (6.5%) had CS, of which 63 (30.0%) were women. Women were older than men (73.2 vs. 65.5% y, p < 0.01), and more had hypertension (68.3 vs. 52.8%, p = 0.019) and diabetes (38.7 vs. 24.8%, p = 0.047). Fewer were smokers (13.3 vs. 41.2%, p < 0.01), had previous PCI (9.1 vs. 22.3% p = 0.016), or required IABP (35.3 vs. 51.1% p = 0.027). Women had higher rates of mortality (53.2 vs. 35.3% in-hospital, p = 0.01; 61.3 vs. 41.9% at 1 month, p = 0.01; and 73.8 vs. 52.6% at 3 years, p = 0.05) and MACE (60.6 vs. 41.6% in-hospital, p = 0.032; 66.1 vs. 45.6% at 1 month, p = 0.007; and 62.9 vs. 80.3% at 3 years, p = 0.015). After multivariate adjustment, female sex remained an independent factor for death (HR-2.42 [95% CI 1.014-5.033], p = 0.042) and MACE (HR-1.91 [95% CI 1.217-3.031], p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS CS complicating STEMI is associated with greater short- and long-term mortality and MACE in women. Sex-focused measures to improve diagnosis and treatment are mandatory for CS patients.

Left atrium veno-arterial extra corporeal membrane oxygenation as temporary mechanical support for cardiogenic shock: A case report. World J Clin Cases 2023; 11:6531-6536. [PMID: 37900254 PMCID: PMC10600982 DOI: 10.12998/wjcc.v11.i27.6531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Veno-arterial extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support is commonly complicated with left ventricle (LV) distension in patients with cardiogenic shock. We resolved this problem by transeptally converting VA-ECMO to left atrium veno-arterial (LAVA)-ECMO that functioned as a temporary paracorporeal left ventricular assist device to resolve LV distension. In our case LAVA-ECMO was also functioning as a bridge-to-transplant device, a technique that has been scarcely reported in the literature. CASE SUMMARY A 65 year-old man suffered from acute myocardial injury that required percutaneous stents. Less than two weeks later, noncompliance to antiplatelet therapy led to stent thrombosis, cardiogenic shock, and cardiac arrest. Femoro-femoral VA-ECMO support was started, and the patient underwent a second coronary angiography with re-stenting and intra-aortic balloon pump placement. The VA-ECMO support was complicated by left ventricular distension which we resolved via LAVA-ECMO. Unfortunately, episodes of bleeding and sepsis complicated the clinical picture and the patient passed away 27 d after initiating VA-ECMO. CONCLUSION This clinical case demonstrates that LAVA-ECMO is a viable strategy to unload the LV without another invasive percutaneous or surgical procedure. We also demonstrate that LAVA-ECMO can also be weaned to a left ventricular assist device system. A benefit of this technique is that the procedure is potentially reversible, should the patient require VA-ECMO support again. A transeptal LV venting approach like LAVA-ECMO may be indicated over ImpellaTM in cases where less LV unloading is required and where a restrictive myocardium could cause LV suctioning. Left ventricular over-distention is a well-known complication of peripheral VA-ECMO in cardiogenic shock and LAVA ECMO through transeptal cannulation offers a novel and safe approach for treating LV overloading, without the need of an additional percutaneous access.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may provide benefit in certain populations of adults, including those with severe cardiac failure, severe respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest. However, it is also associated with serious short- and long-term complications, and there remains a lack of high-quality evidence to guide practice. Recently several large randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been published, therefore, we undertook an update of our previous systematic review published in 2014. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether venovenous (VV), venoarterial (VA), or ECMO cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) improve mortality compared to conventional cardiopulmonary support in critically ill adults. SEARCH METHODS We used standard, extensive Cochrane search methods. The latest search date was March 2022. The search was limited to English language only. SELECTION CRITERIA We included RCTs, quasi-RCTs, and cluster-RCTs that compared VV ECMO, VA ECMO or ECPR to conventional support in critically ill adults. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used standard Cochrane methods. Our primary outcome was 1. all-cause mortality at day 90 to one year. Our secondary outcomes were 2. length of hospital stay, 3. survival to discharge, 4. disability, 5. adverse outcomes/safety events, 6. health-related quality of life, 7. longer-term health status, and 8. cost-effectiveness. We used GRADE to assess certainty of evidence. MAIN RESULTS Five RCTs met our inclusion criteria, with four new studies being added to the original review (total 757 participants). Two studies were of VV ECMO (429 participants), one VA ECMO (41 participants), and two ECPR (285 participants). Four RCTs had a low risk of bias and one was unclear, and the overall certainty of the results (GRADE score) was moderate, reduced primarily due to indirectness of the study populations and interventions. ECMO was associated with a reduction in 90-day to one-year mortality compared to conventional treatment (risk ratio [RR] 0.80, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70 to 0.92; P = 0.002, I2 = 11%). This finding remained stable after performing a sensitivity analysis by removing the single trial with an uncertain risk of bias. Subgroup analyses did not reveal a significant subgroup effect across VV, VA, or ECPR modes (P = 0.73). Four studies reported an increased risk of major hemorrhage with ECMO (RR 3.32, 95% CI 1.90 to 5.82; P < 0.001), while two studies reported no difference in favorable neurologic outcome (RR 2.83, 95% CI 0.36 to 22.42; P = 0.32). Other secondary outcomes were not consistently reported across the studies. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS In this updated systematic review, which included four additional RCTs, we found that ECMO was associated with a reduction in day-90 to one-year all-cause mortality, as well as three times increased risk of bleeding. However, the certainty of this result was only low to moderate, limited by a low number of small trials, clinical heterogeneity, and indirectness across studies.
