Cardiogenic shock patients represent a wide spectrum of disease that requires tailored therapy to improve hemodynamic derangements[2]

Develop a treatment plan

Identify

Any attempt to improve outcomes in CS should begin with its early identification. Models of care including a multi-disciplinary CS team, hold potential for the early identification and individualized treatment of CS.[3]

Initiate

Experts suggest use of advanced hemodynamic monitoring to diagnose and/or manage patients with CS.[4] To avoid the negative impact of inotropes, consideration should be given to early initiation of intra-aortic balloon pumping.[5],[6]

Evaluate

Quick feedback loops incorporating patient status and hemodynamics are required to assess the need for response to initial therapies.[2]

Escalate

When patients do not respond to treatments initiated, consider the next level of support and transfer to experienced shock centers if required.[4]

Any attempt to improve outcomes in cardiogenic shock should begin with early identification. Models of care including a multi-disciplinary CS team hold potential for early identification and individualized treatment.[3]  

30-day survival was 76% when IABP was placed within < 1 hour of onset of cardiogenic shock.[5]

30-day survival was 76% when IABP was placed within < 1 h

Early initiation of IABP may provide hemodynamic benefit as primary treatment for advanced decompensated heart failure.[6]

Graphic showing Primary circulatory support

Primary circulatory support with the Sensation Plus 50 cc IABP showed a significant increase in improved organ perfusion assessed by SVO2.[6]

Starting support immediately reduces stroke work, possibly decreasing myocardial oxygen consumption. IABP counterpulsation decreases LV afterload, preload and intraventricular dyssynchrony.[6]

To avoid the negative impact of vasoactive drugs, consideration should be given to early initiation of IABP therapy.[5],[6]

Listen to Dr. Seto discuss the risk vs benefit of MCS devices

IABP therapy remains the predominant MCS device, a trusted, valuable first-line option[8], [9], [14]
