Abstract
Heart transplantation (HTx) is a life-saving procedure for patients with end-stage heart failure and has undergone remarkable advancements since the first successful transplant in 1967. The introduction of cyclosporine in the 1970s significantly improved patient outcomes, leading to a global increase in transplants, including in India, where the practice has grown despite initial challenges. This review provides an extensive overview of HTx, focusing on current practices, technological advancements, and the ongoing challenges the field faces today. It explores the evolution of surgical techniques, such as minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures, and the management of posttransplant rejection through tailored immunosuppressive strategies, including new monoclonal antibodies and personalized therapies. The review also highlights emerging innovations such as mechanical circulatory support devices and xenotransplantation as potential solutions to donor shortages while acknowledging the ethical and logistical challenges these approaches entail. Furthermore, the analysis delves into the implications of using extended-criteria donors and the role of multidisciplinary teams in evaluating absolute and relative contraindications. Despite the progress made, the persistent issues of organ scarcity and ethical concerns underscore the need for ongoing research and innovation to further enhance the efficacy, safety, and accessibility of HTx.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is a severe, life-threatening condition characterised by inadequate tissue perfusion due to the heart's inability to pump blood effectively. The pathophysiology of AMI-CS usually arises from the sudden loss of myocardial contractility, leading to a decrease in cardiac output and systemic hypoperfusion. In approximately 90% of AMI-CS cases, the left ventricle is the primary site of dysfunction.Despite early recognition and the implementation of strategies such as primary percutaneous coronary intervention, the mortality rate associated with AMI-CS remains alarmingly high, reflecting significant unmet clinical needs. A major challenge lies in identifying the optimal patient population for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, as these interventions are costly and can lead to serious complications.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying AMI-CS, explores the current range of MCS devices available and offers an in-depth discussion on the balance of benefits and risks associated with these devices. By highlighting key evidence from recent studies, we aim to shed light on the clinical decision-making process and improve outcomes in this high-risk patient population.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock represents a critical condition in which the heart is unable to maintain adequate circulation leading to insufficient tissue perfusion and end-organ failure. Temporary mechanical circulatory support offers the potential to stabilize patients, provide a bridge-to-recovery, provide a bridge-to-decision, or facilitate definitive heart replacement therapies. Although randomized controlled trials have been performed in infarct-related cardiogenic shock and refractory cardiac arrest, the optimal timing, appropriate patient selection, and optimal implementation of these devices remain complex and predominantly based on observational data and expert consensus, especially in non-ischaemic shock. This review explores the details of 'when, how, and for whom' temporary mechanical circulatory support devices should be used, examining specific clinical scenarios, the mechanisms by which they operate, and the patient populations that may benefit. The review also highlights the many gaps in evidence and need for better understanding of the interaction between human biology and these devices.

Abstract
Patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) present with critical hemodynamic compromise with low cardiac output (CO) resulting in end-organ dysfunction. Prognosis is closely related to the severity of shock, and treatment of patients with CS is resource intensive. In this review, we consider the current treatment paradigms alongside the evidence that underpins them. The current standard of treatment relies on a feedback mechanism, where small changes in treatment are assessed to see if clinical improvement occurs. This leads to delays that increase time in the shock state. The novel approach described proposes immediate treatment to ameliorate the shock state to "break" the shock spiral as quickly and decisively as possible, suggesting new metrics to measure performance.

Abstract
Despite concerted efforts to rapidly identify patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS) and provide timely revascularization, early mortality remains stubbornly high. Although artificially augmenting systemic flow by using temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) devices would be expected to reduce the rate of progression to multiorgan dysfunction and thereby enhance survival, reliable evidence for benefit has remained elusive with lingering questions regarding the appropriate selection of both patients and devices, as well as the timing of device implantation relative to other critical interventions. Further complicating matters are the resource-intensive multidisciplinary systems of care that must be brought to bear in this complex patient population. Until recently, studies of tMCS were extremely heterogeneous in design, populations treated, and timing of device implantation with regard to shock onset and revascularization. Attempts at summarizing the available data had resulted in a lack of clear benefit for any type of tMCS modality. On this background, 2 landmark trials of tMCS in the setting of AMI-CS---ECLS-SHOCK and DanGer Shock---have recently been published with divergent results that deserve detailed consideration. Thus, we provide a detailed narrative review of the current state of knowledge regarding tMCS for AMI-CS. The most common types of tMCS and related evidence are presented, as well as evidence for organizational considerations, such as the shock team. We also provide some insight into how this new evidence may be incorporated into practice and influence future research.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a life-threatening syndrome characterized by systemic hypoperfusion that can quickly progress to multiorgan failure and death. Various devices and configurations of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) exist to support patients, each with unique pathophysiological characteristics. The Intra-aortic balloon pump can improve coronary perfusion, decrease afterload, and indirectly augment cardiac output. TandemHeart, a percutaneous ventricular assist device, can decrease left ventricular preload and directly augment cardiac output. Neither the intra-aortic balloon pump nor the percutaneous ventricular assist device has been shown to decrease mortality in the revascularization era. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can offer complete cardiopulmonary support; however, it has not been shown to decrease mortality. Recent studies have indicated that microaxial flow pumps, such as Abiomed's Impella family of devices, can decrease mortality in the AMI-CS population. Managing AMI-CS requires careful clinical assessment, as no single MCS device is universally effective, and device-related complications are common. While venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation provides complete support, it has not demonstrated a mortality benefit in major trials and carries significant risks. In contrast, microaxial flow pumps have shown a mortality benefit but with higher complication rates. Ongoing research and advancements aim to refine MCS strategies, improve device safety, and enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI-CS) remains a severe condition associated with a high risk of mortality despite increased availability of primary percutaneous coronary intervention and improvements in pharmacologic and device-based therapy. The results of the DanGer Shock trial stand out compared with the outcomes of the previous trials and mark the first mechanical circulatory support (MCS) strategy to show a benefit in patients with AMI-CS, a population that has always been challenging to study. Notably, negative findings from previous trials may mask positive treatment effects in specific subgroups and patient category. We systematically reviewed the design of all contemporary randomized controlled AMI-CS trials and identified four distinct features, which likely provide reasons why DanGer Shock became the first positive randomized controlled trial to support MCS in AMI-CS. DanGer Shock was the first RCT that established MCS in the context of AMI-CS. Key features were (1) patient phenotype that 1) includes STEMI and 2) excludes severe RV failure and persistent comatose state after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; (3) optimal timing of MCS deployment, as soon as possible (lower SCAI stage) and before revascularization efforts; and (4) rigorous intensive care management protocols on hemodynamic and MCS monitoring.

Abstract
Acute heart failure (AHF) is a complex clinical syndrome characterized by the rapid or gradual onset of symptoms and/or signs of heart failure (HF), leading to an unplanned hospital admission or an emergency department visit. AHF is the leading cause of hospitalization in patients over 65 years, thus significantly impacting public health care. However, its prognosis remains poor with high rates of mortality and rehospitalization. Many pre-existing cardiac conditions can lead to AHF, but it can also arise de novo due to acute events. Therefore, understanding AHF etiology could improve patient management and outcomes. Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) are a heterogeneous group of heart muscle diseases, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), non-dilated cardiomyopathy (NDLVC), and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), that frequently present with HF. Patients with CMPs are under-represented in AHF studies compared to other etiologies, and therefore therapeutic responses and prognoses remain unknown. In DCM, AHF represents the most frequent cause of death despite treatment improvements. Additionally, DCM is the first indication for heart transplant (HT) among young and middle-aged adults. In HCM, the progression to AHF is rare and more frequent in patients with concomitant severe left ventricle (LV) obstruction and hypertrophy or severe LV systolic dysfunction. HF is the natural evolution of patients with RCM and HF is associated with poor outcomes irrespective of RCM etiology. Furthermore, while the occurrence of AHF is rare among patients with ARVC, this condition in NDLVC patients is currently unknown. In this manuscript, we assessed the available evidence on AHF in patients with CMPs. Data on clinical presentation, therapeutic management, and clinical outcomes according to specific CMPs are limited. Future HF studies assessing the clinical presentation, treatment, and prognosis of specific CMPs are warranted.

Predicting In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease Receiving Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Therapy. Cardiorenal Med 2025; 15:164-173. [PMID: 39778556 PMCID: PMC11844689 DOI: 10.1159/000543434] [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: 07/21/2024] [Accepted: 12/26/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2025] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) often experience worse renal outcomes and higher mortality rates as the severity of kidney injury increases. Nevertheless, the in-hospital mortality risks of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are poorly understood. This study evaluated several prognostic factors associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with ESRD receiving ECMO therapy. METHODS This study reviewed the medical records of 90 adult patients with ESRD on venoarterial ECMO in intensive care units in Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital between March 2009 and February 2022. Fourteen patients who died within 24 h of receiving ECMO support were excluded; the remaining 76 patients were enrolled. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables were retrospectively collected as survival predictors. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. RESULTS The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 69.7%. The most common diagnosis requiring ECMO support was postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock, and the most frequent ECMO-associated complication was infection. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score on day 1 of ECMO support was an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality. The APACHE II score demonstrated satisfactory discriminative power (0.788 ± 0.057) in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The cumulative survival rates at the 6-month follow-up differed significantly (p < 0.001) between patients with APACHE II score ≤ 29 versus those with APACHE II score >29. CONCLUSION For patients with ESRD on ECMO, the APACHE II score is an excellent predictor of in-hospital mortality.

Safety and utility of mechanical circulatory support in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: A systematic review and meta-analysis. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2025; 70:23-33. [PMID: 38965019 DOI: 10.1016/j.carrev.2024.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Although mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is an increasingly utilized therapeutic option in AMI-CS, studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of different forms of MCS have yielded conflicting results. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of different forms of MCS. METHODS A database search was performed for studies reporting on the association of different forms of MCS with clinical outcomes in patients with AMI-CS. The primary efficacy endpoints were short term (≤30 days) and long term (>30 days) all-cause mortality. Secondary efficacy endpoints included recurrent AMI, cardiovascular (CV) mortality, device-related limb complications, moderate to severe bleeding events, and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). RESULTS 2752 patients with AMI-CS met inclusion criteria. Results were available comparing ECMO to other MCS or medical therapy alone, comparing IABP to medical therapy alone, and comparing pLVAD to IABP. Use of ECMO was not associated with lower risk of 30-day or long-term mortality compared to pVAD or standard medical therapy with or without IABP placement but was associated with higher risk of device-related limb complications and moderate to severe bleeding compared to pVAD. IABP use was not associated with a lower risk of 30 day or long-term mortality but was associated with higher risk of recurrent AMI and moderate to severe bleeding compared to medical therapy. Compared to IABP, pVAD use was associated with lower risk of CV mortality but not recurrent AMI. pVAD was associated with a higher risk of device-related limb complications and moderate to severe bleeding compared to IABP use. CONCLUSION Use of ECMO or IABP in patients with AMI-CS is not associated with significant improvement in mortality. pVAD is associated with a lower risk of CV mortality. All MCS types are associated with increased risk of complications. Additional high-quality studies are needed to determine the optimal MCS therapy for patients with AMI-CS.

Abstract
The management of cardiogenic shock is an ongoing challenge. Despite all efforts and tremendous use of resources, mortality remains high. Whilst reversing the underlying cause, restoring/maintaining organ perfusion and function are cornerstones of management. The presence of comorbidities and preexisting organ dysfunction increases management complexity, aiming to integrate the needs of vital organs in each individual patient. This review provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary literature regarding the definition and classification of cardiogenic shock, its pathophysiology, diagnosis, laboratory evaluation, and monitoring. Further, we distill the latest evidence in pharmacologic therapy and the use of mechanical circulatory support including recently published randomized-controlled trials as well as future directions of research, integrating this within an international group of authors to provide a global perspective. Finally, we explore the need for individualization, especially in the face of neutral randomized trials which may be related to a dilution of a potential benefit of an intervention (i.e., average effect) in this heterogeneous clinical syndrome, including the use of novel biomarkers, artificial intelligence, and machine learning approaches to identify specific endotypes of cardiogenic shock (i.e., subclasses with distinct underlying biological/molecular mechanisms) to support a more personalized medicine beyond the syndromic approach of cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of death despite advances in revascularization and post-STEMI care. Especially for patients with a poor prognosis, there is increasing emphasis on comfort-focused care. METHODS We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of patients with STEMI at a large tertiary care academic medical center, abstracting patient-level data, causes of death, and use of palliative care consultation from the medical records. We sought to investigate the frequency of comfort-focused approaches and palliative care consultation after STEMI. RESULTS A total of 536 patients presented with or were transferred with STEMI from January 2010 to July 2018, of whom 61/536 (11.4%) died during index hospitalization. Among those who underwent percutaneous intervention (PCI), the in-hospital mortality rate was 6.8%. Median (IQR) and time to death was two (0-6) days. Among those who died, 25/61 (41%) were treated with mechanical circulatory support (MCS). A total of 25/61 (41%) patients died following transition to a comfort-focused approach. Rate of MCS utilization during hospitalization was higher in the group that was ultimately transitioned to comfort-focused measures than the group who received full treatment measures. Palliative care was consulted in the case of 6/61 (9.8%) patients. Median time to consultation was 5 (1-7) days and time to death was 6.5 (2-28) days. DISCUSSION Transition to comfort-focused care before death after STEMI is common, particularly in those with cardiogenic shock and/or treated with MCS, highlighting the critical status of such patients. Although increasingly employed in recent years, palliative care consults remain rare and are often employed late in the hospitalization.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2024:S0022-5223(24)00836-5. [PMID: 39326731 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2024.09.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2024] [Revised: 09/11/2024] [Accepted: 09/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is widely used to rescue patients from complications following cardiac surgery. Given improvements in rescue strategies over the past decade, the appropriateness of IABP must be reexamined. This study assessed the risk factors, outcomes, and predictors of survival of rescue IABP placement. METHODS Patients receiving an isolated rescue IABP during or after cardiac surgery from 2012 to 2020 were studied. All adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery except transplantation and primary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) procedures were included. RESULTS Of 10,591 patients, 397 (3.7%) received a perioperative IABP, including 182 (45.8%) with rescue IABP placement. The indications for rescue IABP were postcardiotomy shock (n = 66; 36.3%), failure to wean off cardiopulmonary bypass (n = 58; 31.9%), myocardial ischemia (n = 30; 16.5%), cardiac arrest (n = 25; 13.7%), and ventricular arrhythmia (n = 3; 1.6%). The in-hospital failure to rescue rate was 17.6% (n = 32 of 182) with a 90-day survival of 80.8% and 1-year survival of 76.9%. The most common etiology of mortality was ongoing cardiogenic shock (61.9%; n = 26 of 42). IABP use for >4 days and cardiac arrest as an indication for IABP were risk factors for 1-year mortality (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.68 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.31-5.50] and 2.69 [95% CI, 1.11-6.54], respectively). CONCLUSIONS Rescue IABP following cardiac surgery is associated with increased early and 1-year mortality. Prolonged IABP use beyond 4 days or cardiac arrest as an indication portended a significantly worse prognosis. Rescue IABP may not be the optimal first-line temporary MCS for all patients, as the level of support provided might not match the severity of cardiogenic shock. Alternative MCS strategies should be considered early.

Abstract
Blood pressure is a critical physiological parameter, particularly in the context of cardiac intensive care and perioperative settings. As a primary indicator of organ perfusion, the maintenance of adequate blood pressure is imperative for the assurance of sufficient tissue oxygen delivery. Among critically ill and major surgery patients, the continuous monitoring of blood pressure is performed as a standard practice for patients. Nonetheless, uncertainties remain regarding blood pressure goals, and there is no consensus regarding blood pressure targets. This review describes the determinants of blood pressure, examine the influence of blood pressure on organ perfusion, and synthesize the current clinical evidence from various intensive care and perioperative settings to provide a concise guidance for daily clinical practice.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex multifactorial clinical syndrome of end-organ hypoperfusion that could be associated with multisystem organ failure, presenting a diverse range of causes and symptoms. Despite improving survival in recent years due to new advancements, CS still carries a high risk of severe morbidity and mortality. Recent research has focused on improving early detection and understanding of CS through standardized team approaches, detailed hemodynamic assessment, and selective use of temporary mechanical circulatory support devices, leading to better patient outcomes. This review examines CS pathophysiology, emerging classifications, current drug and device therapies, standardized team management strategies, and regionalized care systems aimed at optimizing shock outcomes. Furthermore, we identify gaps in knowledge and outline future research needs.

Abstract
This case challenges the conventional preference for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) over percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with diabetes, left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) and multivessel disease. Current guidelines generally recommend CABG, especially in the context of LMCAD. However, our case involves a male patient with diabetes with LMCAD and extensive multivessel disease who was successfully treated with PCI, demonstrating a favorable outcome. Despite the high-risk profile, including a SYNTAX score of 28, the PCI approach was selected. This decision was supported by evidence suggesting comparable outcomes between PCI and CABG in similar patients. Our case highlights the potential of PCI as not just a viable, but potentially superior alternative in specific high-risk patients with diabetes, contrary to the prevailing belief in favor of CABG for all patients with left main involvement.

Abstract
Advances in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) devices and techniques have expanded the pool of eligible patients for revascularization, including those with comorbidities, reduced left ventricular function, or anatomical complexity (defined as CHIP: complex and high-risk interventions in indicated patients). CHIP interventions are typically performed by selected operators who specialize in complex PCI. This review presents two cases performed in the USA, to discuss the similarities and differences in practice patterns between CHIP operators in Japan and the USA. The first case involves a 58-year-old male presenting with myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, and the second case involves a 51-year-old female with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting presenting with a chronic total occlusion and PCI complicated by vessel perforation. The discussion focuses on appropriate patient selection, the role of the heart team approach for decision-making, the use of hemodynamic support devices, and other relevant factors. By comparing practices in Japan and the USA, this review highlights opportunities for knowledge exchange and potential areas for improving patient outcomes.

Abstract
Randomized studies attempting to prove benefit of mechanical circulatory support in cardiogenic shock have failed to reduce the risk of death. Further, both registry and randomized data suggest increased rates of serious complications associated with these devices. This last review in the supplement discusses current evidence and provides a perspective on how the scientific community could advance cardiogenic shock research focused on mechanical circulatory support.

Abstract
Postcardiotomy shock (PCS) is generally described as the inability to separate from cardiopulmonary bypass due to ineffective cardiac output after cardiotomy, which is caused by a primary cardiac disorder, resulting in inadequate tissue perfusion. Postcardiotomy shock occurs in 0.5% to 1.5% of contemporary cardiac surgery cases, and is accompanied by an in-hospital mortality of approximately 67%. In the last 2 decades, the incidence of PCS has increased, likely due to the increased age and baseline morbidity of patients requiring cardiac surgery. In this narrative review, the authors discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of PCS, the rationale and evidence behind the initiation, continuation, escalation, and discontinuation of mechanical support devices in PCS, and the anesthetic implications.

J Pers Med 2023; 13:1614. [PMID: 38003929 PMCID: PMC10672116 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13111614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
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.

Effects of intra-aortic balloon pump on in-hospital outcomes and 1-year mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2023; 23:425. [PMID: 37644466 PMCID: PMC10466728 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-023-03465-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still a subject of intense debate. In this study, we aim to investigate the effect of IABP on the clinical outcomes of patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS From the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV 2.2, 6017 AMI patients were subtracted, and 250 patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock undergoing PCI were analyzed. In-hospital outcomes (death, 24-hour urine volumes, length of ICU stays, and length of hospital stays) and 1-year mortality were compared between IABP and control during the hospital course and 12-month follow-up. RESULTS An IABP was implanted in 30.8% (77/250) of patients with infarct-related cardiogenic shock undergoing PCI. IABP patients had higher levels of Troponin T (3.94 [0.73-11.85] ng/ml vs. 1.99 [0.55-5.75] ng/ml, p-value = 0.02). IABP patients have a longer length of ICU and hospital stays (124 [63-212] hours vs. 83 [43-163] hours, p-value = 0.005; 250 [128-435] hours vs. 170 [86-294] hours, p-value = 0.009). IABP use was not associated with lower in-hospital mortality (33.8% vs. 33.0%, p-value = 0.90) and increased 24-hour urine volumes (2100 [1455-3208] ml vs. 1915 [1110-2815] ml, p-value = 0.25). In addition, 1-year mortality was not different between the IABP and the control group (48.1% vs. 48.0%; hazard ratio 1.04, 95% CI 0.70-1.54, p-value = 0.851). CONCLUSION IABP may be associated with longer ICU and hospital stays but not better short-and long-term clinical prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The choice of outcome measure is a critical decision in the design of any clinical trial, but many Phase III clinical trials in critical care fail to detect a difference between the interventions being compared. This may be because the surrogate outcomes used to show beneficial effects in early phase trials (which informed the design of the subsequent Phase III trials) are not valid guides to the differences between the interventions for the main outcomes of the Phase III trials. We undertook a systematic review (1) to generate a list of outcome measures used in critical care trials, (2) to determine the variability in the outcome reporting in the respiratory subgroup and (3) to create a smaller list of potential early phase endpoints in the respiratory subgroup. METHODS Data related to outcomes were extracted from studies published in the six top-ranked critical care journals between 2010 and 2020. Outcomes were classified into subcategories and categories. A subset of early phase endpoints relevant to the respiratory subgroup was selected for further investigation. The variability of the outcomes and the variability in reporting was investigated. RESULTS A total of 6905 references were retrieved and a total of 294 separate outcomes were identified from 58 studies. The outcomes were then classified into 11 categories and 66 subcategories. A subset of 22 outcomes relevant for the respiratory group were identified as potential early phase outcomes. The summary statistics, time points and definitions show the outcomes are analysed and reported in different ways. CONCLUSION The outcome measures were defined, analysed and reported in a variety of ways. This creates difficulties for synthesising data in systematic reviews and planning definitive trials. This review once again highlights an urgent need for standardisation and validation of surrogate outcomes reported in critical care trials. Future work should aim to validate and develop a core outcome set for surrogate outcomes in critical care trials.

Abstract
Introduction Although a role for percutaneous Impella devices has been established, there is a paucity of data regarding the utility and outcomes of larger surgically implanted Impella devices. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of all surgical Impella implants at our institution. All Impella 5.0 and Impella 5.5 devices were included. The primary outcome was survival. Secondary outcomes included hemodynamic and end-organ perfusion as well as commonly encountered surgical complications. Results From 2012 to 2022, 90 surgical Impella devices were implanted. The median age was 63 [53-70] years, the mean creatinine was 2.07 ± 1.22 mg/dL, and the average lactate level was 3.32 ± 2.90 mmol/L. Prior to implantation, 47 patients (52%) were supported with vasoactive agents, while 43 (48%) were also supported with another device. The most common etiology of shock was acute on chronic heart failure (50, 56%), followed by acute myocardial infarction (22, 24%), and postcardiotomy (17, 19%). Overall, 69 patients (77%) survived to device removal, and 57 (65%) survived to hospital discharge. One-year survival was 54%. Neither etiology of heart failure nor device strategy was associated with 30-day or 1-year survival. On multivariable modeling, the number of vasoactive medications prior to device implantation was strongly associated with 30-day mortality (hazard ratio 1.94 [1.27-2.96], P < 0.01). Surgical Impella placement was associated with a significant decreased need for vasoactive infusions (P < 0.01) and decreased acidosis (P = 0.01). Conclusions Surgical Impella support for patients in acute cardiogenic shock is associated with lower vasoactive medication use, improved hemodynamics, increased end-organ perfusion, and acceptable morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
The intraaortic ballon-pump (IABP) is a percutaneous mechanical circulatory support device, which is used in patients either with insufficient cardiac output or in patients with high-risk situation before cardiac intervention, like surgical revascularisation or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Due to electrocardiographic or arterial pressure pulse the IABP augments diastolic coronary perfusion pressure and reduces systolic afterload. Thereby, myocardial oxygen supply-demand ratio is improved and cardiac output is increased. Many national and international cardiology, cardiothoracic and intensive care medicine societies and associations worked together in order to develop evidence-based recommendations and guidelines for the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative management of the IABP. This manuscript is mainly based on the S3 guideline "Use of intraaortic balloon-pump in cardiac surgery" from the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (DGTHG).

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock complicating acute MI carries high mortality and morbidity in many cases. Mechanical circulatory support devices are often used in these cases, aimed at improving patient-centered outcomes, although there is a lack of large randomized clinical trial-based evidence for many of such devices. Various circulatory support devices are available with their associated risks and benefits. Ideal circulatory support device intends to unload the myocardium, halt the spiral of ischemia, provide support for revascularization, and/or allow time for myocardial recovery. In this review paper, the commonly used mechanical circulatory support devices available for use in acute myocardial infarction settings are discussed, and the pros and cons of these devices are examined, considering the contemporary data for each. While this is an evolving field, the authors believe this paper can be helpful to review the current status of the use of mechanical support devices in the setting of acute MI and highlight some of the unmet needs in this field.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a common cause of death following acute myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to evaluate the adjusted mortality of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) for patients with MI-CS. We included 300 MI patients selected from a multinational registry and categorized into VA-ECMO + IABP (N = 39) and no VA-ECMO (medical management ± IABP) (N = 261) groups. Both groups' 30-day and 1-year mortality were compared using the weighted Kaplan-Meier, propensity score, and inverse probability of treatment weighting methods. Adjusted incidences of 30-day (VA-ECMO + IABP vs No VA-ECMO, 77.7% vs 50.7; P = .083) and 1-year mortality (92.3% vs 84.8%; P = .223) along with propensity-adjusted and inverse probability of treatment weighting models in 30-day (hazard ratio [HR], 1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.92-2.77; P = .346 and HR, 1.44; 95% CI, 0.42-3.17; P = .452, respectively) and 1-year mortality (HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 0.95-2.56; P = .076 and HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 0.57-3.06; P = .51, respectively) did not differ between the groups. However, better survival benefit 30 days post-ECMO could be supposed (31.6% vs 83.4%; P = .022). Therefore, patients with MI-CS treated with IABP with additional VA-ECMO and those not supported with ECMO have comparable overall 30-day and 1-year mortality risks. However, VA-ECMO-supported survivors might have better long-term clinical outcomes.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) caused by acute myocardial infarction (AMI) accounts for most deaths in the population with AMI and continues to be associated with high short-term mortality. Several temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have been developed to treat CS and studied in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with AMI-CS. Unfortunately, none of these RCTs has demonstrated an improvement in survival with temporary MCS in AMI-CS. Potential reasons for these negative results in RCTs are numerous and reflect the challenges of enrolling critically ill patients with CS. Researchers have used observational study designs to provide insights about outcomes associated with the use of temporary MCS in AMI-CS. These observational studies have yielded conflicting results, in some cases contrary to the results of RCTs. Several limitations pertinent to both RCTs and observational analyses, mostly relating to selection bias and failure to consider unmeasured confounding variables and population heterogeneity, preclude drawing strong inferences regarding the effects of temporary MCS on survival in populations with AMI-CS. Understanding these limitations is essential to correctly interpreting the literature regarding temporary MCS to treat AMI-CS and is necessary to inform the design of future studies that will potentially provide stronger evidence. Optimally matching temporary MCS devices to the needs of individual patients with AMI-CS will presumably be more successful than indiscriminate application in unselected patients. In this review, we discuss the existing literature on temporary MCS to treat AMI-CS and describe the specific challenges that must be overcome to develop an improved evidence base for guiding clinical practice.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is characterized by hypotension along with signs of hypoperfusion. It has been defined by various societies and clinical trials in different manner. Acute myocardial infarction is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock. Despite early percutaneous coronary intervention, shock secondary to acute coronary syndrome carries mortality rates reaching up to 40–50%. Mechanical circulatory support has been designed to potentially improve outcomes in such patients, but data remains scarce on mortality benefits and long-term outcomes.

Prophylactic ECMO Support during Elective Coronary Percutaneous Interventions in High-Risk Patients: A Single-Center Experience. J Interv Cardiol 2023; 2023:5332038. [PMID: 36793669 PMCID: PMC9922177 DOI: 10.1155/2023/5332038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 10/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Evidence regarding the impact of prophylactic implantation of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for elective high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is limited. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the outcome during index hospitalization and 3 years after interventions. Methods This is an observational retrospective study including all patients undergoing elective, high-risk PCI and receiving VA-ECMO for cardiopulmonary support. Primary endpoints were in-hospital and 3- year major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) rates. Secondary endpoints were vascular complications, bleeding, and procedural success. Results Nine patients were included in total. All patients were considered inoperable by the local heart team, and 1 patient had a previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). All patients were hospitalized for an acute heart failure episode 30 days before the index procedure. Severe left ventricular dysfunction was present in 8 patients. The main target vessel was the left main coronary artery in 5 cases. Complex PCI techniques were used: bifurcations with 2 stents in 8 patients, rotational atherectomy was performed in 3, and coronary lithoplasty in 1 case. PCI was successful in all of the patients with revascularization of all target and additional lesions. Eight of the 9 patients survived for at least 30 days after the procedure, and 7 patients survived for 3 years after the procedure. Regarding the complication rate, 2 patients suffered from limb ischemia and were treated by an antegrade perfusion, 1 patient had a femoral perforation that needed surgical repair, 6 patients had a hematoma, 5 patients had a significant drop in hemoglobin of more than 2 g/dl and received blood transfusions, 2 patients were treated for septicemia, and 2 patients needed hemodialysis. Conclusions Prophylactic use of VA-ECMO in elective patients is an acceptable strategy for revascularization by high-risk coronary percutaneous interventions with good long-term outcomes for patients considered inoperable when a clear clinical benefit is expected. Regarding the potential risk of complications due to a VA-ECMO system, the selection of candidates in our series was based on a multiparameter analysis. The two main triggers in favor of prophylactic VA-ECMO in our studies were the presence of a recent heart failure episode and the high probability of periprocedural prolonged impairment of the coronary flow through the major epicardial artery.

Abstract
Circulatory support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being increasingly used in several critical situations but evidence of its impact on outcomes is inconsistent. Understanding of the specific indications and appropriate timing of implantation of this technology might lead to improved results. Indeed, the line between success and futility may be sometimes very thin when facing a patient in critical condition. New techniques with lighter, simpler and effective devices are being developed. Hence, ECMO has become an accessible technology that is being increasingly used outside of the operating room by heart failure specialists, critical care cardiologists and intensivists. Proper timing of utilization and choice of device may lead to better outcomes. We herein aim to improve this knowledge gap by conducting a literature review to provide simple information, evidence-based indications and a practical approach for cardiologists who may encounter acutely ill adult patients that may be ECMO candidates.

Inotropes, vasopressors, and mechanical circulatory support for treatment of cardiogenic shock complicating myocardial infarction: a systematic review and network meta-analysis. Can J Anaesth 2022; 69:1537-1553. [PMID: 36195825 DOI: 10.1007/s12630-022-02337-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Revised: 06/08/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the relative efficacy of supportive therapies (inotropes, vasopressors, and mechanical circulatory support [MCS]) for adult patients with cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction. SOURCE We conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis and searched six databases from inception to December 2021 for randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We evaluated inotropes, vasopressors, and MCS in separate networks. Two reviewers performed screening, full-text review, and extraction. We used the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework to rate the certainty in findings. The critical outcome of interest was 30-day all-cause mortality. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We included 17 RCTs. Among inotropes (seven RCTs, 1,145 patients), levosimendan probably reduces mortality compared with placebo (odds ratio [OR], 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.33 to 0.87; moderate certainty), but primarily in lower severity shock. Milrinone (OR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.19 to 1.39; low certainty) and dobutamine (OR, 0.67, 95% CI, 0.30 to 1.49; low certainty) may have no effect on mortality compared with placebo. With regard to MCS (eight RCTs, 856 patients), there may be no effect on mortality with an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) (OR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.69 to 1.28; low certainty) or percutaneous MCS (pMCS) (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.47 to 1.98; low certainty), compared with a strategy involving no MCS. Intra-aortic balloon pump use was associated with less major bleeding compared with pMCS. We found only two RCTs evaluating vasopressors, yielding insufficient data for meta-analysis. CONCLUSION The results of this systematic review and network meta-analysis indicate that levosimendan reduces mortality compared with placebo among patients with low severity cardiogenic shock. Intra-aortic balloon pump and pMCS had no effect on mortality compared with a strategy of no MCS, but pMCS was associated with higher rates of major bleeding.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) and cardiac arrest (CA) are the most life-threatening complications of acute myocardial infarction. Although there is a significant overlap in the pathophysiology with approximately half the patients with CS experiencing a CA and approximately two-thirds of patients with CA developing CS, comprehensive guideline recommendations for management of CA + CS are lacking. This paper summarizes the current evidence on the incidence, pathophysiology, and short- and long-term outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by concomitant CA + CS. We discuss the hemodynamic factors and unique challenges that need to be accounted for while developing treatment strategies for these patients. A summary of expert-based step-by-step recommendations to the approach and treatment of these patients, both in the field before admission and in-hospital management, are presented.

Microaxial Left Ventricular Assist Device in Cardiogenic Shock: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Life (Basel) 2022; 12:life12101629.

Abstract
Microaxial left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are increasingly used to support patients with cardiogenic shock; however, outcome results are limited to single-center studies, registry data and select reviews. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, searching three databases for relevant studies reporting on microaxial LVAD use in adults with cardiogenic shock. We conducted a random-effects meta-analysis (DerSimonian and Laird) based on short-term mortality (primary outcome), long-term mortality and device complications (secondary outcomes). We assessed the risk of bias and certainty of evidence using the Joanna Briggs Institute and the GRADE approaches, respectively. A total of 63 observational studies (3896 patients), 6 propensity-score matched (PSM) studies and 2 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included (384 patients). The pooled short-term mortality from observational studies was 46.5% (95%-CI: 42.7–50.3%); this was 48.9% (95%-CI: 43.8–54.1%) amongst PSM studies and RCTs. The pooled mortality at 90 days, 6 months and 1 year was 41.8%, 51.1% and 54.3%, respectively. Hemolysis and access-site bleeding were the most common complications, each with a pooled incidence of around 20%. The reported mortality rate of microaxial LVADs was not significantly lower than extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP). Current evidence does not suggest any mortality benefit when compared to ECMO or IABP.

Abstract
Cardiology shock is a syndrome of low cardiac output resulting in end-organ dysfunction. Few interventions have demonstrated meaningful clinical benefit, and cardiogenic shock continues to carry significant morbidity with mortality rates that have plateaued at upwards of 40% over the past decade. Clinicians must rely on clinical, biochemical, and hemodynamic parameters to guide resuscitation. Several features, including physical examination, renal function, serum lactate metabolism, venous oxygen saturation, and hemodynamic markers of right ventricular function, may be useful both as prognostic markers and to guide therapy. This article aims to review these targets, their utility in the care of patients with cardiology shock, and their association with outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition frequently encounter in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD). AREAS COVERED Despite prompt revascularization, in particular percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and therapeutic and technological advances, the mortality rate for CS related to AMI remains high. Differently from hemodynamically stable setting, a culprit lesion-only (CLO) revascularization strategy is currently suggested in AMI-CS patients, based on the results of a recent randomized evidence burdened by several limitations and conflicting results from non-randomized studies. Furthermore, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have raised as a key therapeutic option in CS, especially in case of an early implantation without delaying revascularization and before irreversible organ damage has occurred. We provide an in-depth review of current evidences on optimal revascularization strategies of multivessel CAD in infarct-related CS, assessing the role of MCS devices, and highlighting the importance of shock teams and medical care system networks to effectively impact on clinical outcomes. EXPERT OPINION Emerging observational experience suggested that an early implantation of MCS (prior to PCI), the performance of an extensive revascularization and the implementation of shock teams and networks are key factors for improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
AIM The "2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure" replaces the "2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure" and the "2017 ACC/AHA/HFSA Focused Update of the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure." The 2022 guideline is intended to provide patient-centric recommendations for clinicians to prevent, diagnose, and manage patients with heart failure. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 2020 to December 2020, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, the Cochrane Collaboration, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other relevant databases. Additional relevant clinical trials and research studies, published through September 2021, were also considered. This guideline was harmonized with other American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines published through December 2021. Structure: Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The 2022 heart failure guideline provides recommendations based on contemporary evidence for the treatment of these patients. The recommendations present an evidence-based approach to managing patients with heart failure, with the intent to improve quality of care and align with patients' interests. Many recommendations from the earlier heart failure guidelines have been updated with new evidence, and new recommendations have been created when supported by published data. Value statements are provided for certain treatments with high-quality published economic analyses.

Abstract
More than 300 000 procedures are performed in cardiac catheter laboratories in the UK each year. The variety and complexity of percutaneous cardiovascular procedures have both increased substantially since the early days of invasive cardiology, when it was largely focused on elective coronary angiography and single chamber (right ventricular) permanent pacemaker implantation. Modern-day invasive cardiology encompasses primary percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac resynchronisation therapy, complex arrhythmia ablation and structural heart interventions. These procedures all carry the risk of cardiac arrest.We have developed evidence-based guidelines for the management of cardiac arrest in adult patients in the catheter laboratory. The guidelines include recommendations which were developed by collaboration between nine professional and patient societies that are involved in promoting high-quality care for patients with cardiovascular conditions. We present a set of protocols which use the skills of the whole catheter laboratory team and which are aimed at achieving the best possible outcomes for patients who suffer a cardiac arrest in this setting. We identified six roles and developed a treatment algorithm which should be adopted during cardiac arrest in the catheter laboratory. We recommend that all catheter laboratory staff undergo regular training for these emergency situations which they will inevitably face.

Abstract
AIM The "2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure" replaces the "2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure" and the "2017 ACC/AHA/HFSA Focused Update of the 2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure." The 2022 guideline is intended to provide patient-centric recommendations for clinicians to prevent, diagnose, and manage patients with heart failure. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted from May 2020 to December 2020, encompassing studies, reviews, and other evidence conducted on human subjects that were published in English from MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, the Cochrane Collaboration, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and other relevant databases. Additional relevant clinical trials and research studies, published through September 2021, were also considered. This guideline was harmonized with other American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology guidelines published through December 2021. STRUCTURE Heart failure remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. The 2022 heart failure guideline provides recommendations based on contemporary evidence for the treatment of these patients. The recommendations present an evidence-based approach to managing patients with heart failure, with the intent to improve quality of care and align with patients' interests. Many recommendations from the earlier heart failure guidelines have been updated with new evidence, and new recommendations have been created when supported by published data. Value statements are provided for certain treatments with high-quality published economic analyses.

Abstract
Treatment strategies to combat cardiogenic shock (CS) have remained stagnant over the past decade. Mortality rates among patients who suffer CS after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain high at 50%. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have evolved as novel treatment strategies to restore systemic perfusion to allow cardiac recovery in the short term, or as durable support devices in refractory heart failure in the long term. Haemodynamic parameters derived from right heart catheterization assist in the selection of an appropriate MCS device and escalation of mechanical support where needed. Evidence favouring the use of one MCS device over another is scant. An intra-aortic balloon pump is the most commonly used short-term MCS device, despite providing only modest haemodynamic support. Impella CP® has been increasingly used for CS in recent times and remains an important focus of research for patients with AMI-CS. Among durable devices, Heartmate® 3 is the most widely used in the USA. Adequately powered randomized controlled trials are needed to compare these MCS devices and to guide the operator for their use in CS. This article provides a brief overview of the types of currently available MCS devices and the indications for their use.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Differentiating the etiologic factors driving CS has epidemiological significance and aids in optimization of therapeutic strategies, prognostication, and resource utilization. The aim herein is to investigate the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of CS in those with ischemic and nonischemic CS etiologies. Using International Classification of Diseases codes, we queried the national inpatient sample for CS hospitalization from 2007 to 2018 and divided the study sample into cohorts of ischemic (I-CS) and nonischemic cardiogenic shock (NI-CS). We then compared the primary outcome of in-hospital mortality between these 2 cohorts. Two groups of secondary outcomes (clinical and procedural) were also assessed between the 2 cohorts. CS was present in 557,860 hospitalizations; 84% of these were I-CS and 15.8% NI-CS. Patients with I-CS were older, more commonly males, with more risk factors for coronary artery disease (P < 0.05). NI-CS had higher prevalence of preexisting systolic heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with I-CS (32.2% vs. 29.5%, adjusted odds ratio 1.10, P < 0.001). Frequencies of acute ischemic stroke, mechanical ventilation, ventricular arrhythmias, and vascular complications were higher in I-CS versus NI-CS, while acute kidney injury and acute liver failure were more common in NI-CS (P < 0.05). The use of mechanical circulatory support devices was higher in the I-CS group. In conclusion, patients with I-CS comprise the vast majority of CS and are associated with higher mortality and higher resource utilization. Conversely, patients with NI-CS appear to have higher survival but with a higher prevalence of end-organ dysfunction.

Comparative Analysis of Patient Characteristics in Cardiogenic Shock Studies: Differences Between Trials and Registries. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2022; 15:297-304. [PMID: 35144785 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2021.11.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/16/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study sought to evaluate the differences in cardiogenic shock patient characteristics in trial patients and real-life patients. BACKGROUND Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a leading cause of mortality in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the enrollment of patients into clinical trials is challenging and may not be representative of real-world patients. METHODS We performed a systematic review of studies in patients presenting with AMI-related CS and compared patient characteristics of those enrolled into randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with those in registries. RESULTS We included 14 RCTs (n = 2,154) and 12 registries (n = 133,617). RCTs included more men (73% vs 67.7%, P < 0.001) compared with registries. Patients enrolled in RCTs had fewer comorbidities, including less hypertension (61.6% vs 65.9%, P < 0.001), dyslipidemia (36.4% vs 53.6%, P < 0.001), a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (7.1% vs 10.7%, P < 0.001), and prior coronary artery bypass graft surgery (5.4% vs 7.5%, P < 0.001). Patients enrolled in RCTs also had lower lactate levels (4.7 ± 2.3 mmol/L vs 5.9 ± 1.9 mmol/L, P < 0.001) and higher mean arterial pressure (73.0 ± 8.8 mm Hg vs 62.5 ± 12.2 mm Hg, P < 0.001). Percutaneous coronary intervention (97.5% vs 58.4%, P < 0.001) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (11.6% vs 3.4%, P < 0.001) were used more often in RCTs. The in-hospital mortality (23.9% vs 38.4%, P < 0.001) and 30-day mortality (39.9% vs 45.9%, P < 0.001) were lower in RCT patients. CONCLUSIONS RCTs in AMI-related CS tend to enroll fewer women and lower-risk patients compared with registries. Patients enrolled in RCTs are more likely to receive aggressive treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and have lower in-hospital and 30-day mortality.

Abstract
Objective Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices are widely used for cardiogenic shock (CS). This network meta-analysis aims to evaluate which MCS strategy offers advantages. Methods A systemic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials was performed. Studies included double-blind, randomized controlled, and observational trials, with 30-day follow-ups. Paired independent researchers conducted the screening, data extraction, quality assessment, and consistency and heterogeneity assessment. Results We included 39 studies (1 report). No significant difference in 30-day mortality was noted between venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and VA-ECMO plus Impella, Impella, and medical therapy. According to the surface under the cumulative ranking curve, the optimal ranking of the interventions was surgical venting plus VA-ECMO, medical therapy, VA-ECMO plus Impella, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), Impella, Tandem Heart, VA-ECMO, and Impella plus IABP. Regarding in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality, the forest plot showed low heterogeneity. The results of the node-splitting approach showed that direct and indirect comparisons had a relatively high consistency. Conclusions IABP more effectively reduce the incidence of 30-day mortality compared with VA-ECMO and Impella for the treatment of CS.

Abstract
Durable and temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) use is growing for a range of cardiovascular indications. Kidney dysfunction is common in people evaluated for or receiving durable or temporary MCS and portends worse outcomes. This kidney dysfunction can be due to preexisting kidney chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI) related to acute cardiovascular disease necessitating MCS, AKI due to cardiac procedures, and acute and chronic MCS effects and complications. Durable MCS, with implantable continuous flow pumps, is used for long-term support in advanced heart failure refractory to guideline-directed medical and device therapy, either permanently or as a bridge to heart transplantation. Temporary MCS-encompassing in this review intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP), axial flow pumps, centrifugal flow pumps, and venoarterial ECMO-is used for diverse situations: high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), acute decompensated heart failure, cardiogenic shock, and resuscitation after cardiac arrest. The wide adoption of MCS makes it imperative to improve understanding of the effects of MCS on kidney health/function and of kidney health/function on MCS outcomes. The complex structure and functions of the kidney, and the complex health states of individuals receiving MCS, makes investigations in this area challenging, and current knowledge is limited. Fortunately, the increasing nephrology toolbox of noninvasive kidney health/function assessments may enable development and testing of individualized management strategies and therapeutics in the future. We review technology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical considerations, and future directions in MCS and nephrology.
