To the Editor: In their review of circulatory shock, Vincent and De Backer (Oct. 31 issue)1 report that hypoperfusion can be apparent through the skin (cold extremities), the kidney (low urinary ou ...

In-hospital mortality rates were 15.4% in those with hypotension and 9.5% in those with hypoperfusion. Similarly, deterioration to a higher shock class occurred in 36.3% of those with hypotension and ...

Shock is the term used to describe the physiologic state when there is tissue hypoperfusion throughout multiple organs. [1] Decreased tissue perfusion leads to decreased tissue oxygen delivery ...

Evidence of end-organ hypoperfusion, with a cardiogenic cause; There were 4,842 cases of cardiogenic shock, of which 757 (16%) were in the context of STEMI. DanGer Shock also included specific ...

SCAI Stage C cardiogenic shock is characterized by significant organ hypoperfusion, necessitating the use of inotropic or vasopressor drugs. However, these medications are often accompanied by ...

As it progresses, we get worsening hypoperfusion, and hypoperfusion is a shock state. In this case, it’s distributive shock as the vessels have dilated.

This results in end-organ hypoperfusion and potentially multi-system organ failure and can be fatal. Revascularization by PCI or CABG is recommended in this setting (see SHOCK trial).

Women with heart failure–related cardiogenic shock have worse outcomes and more vascular complications than men, a new analysis of registry data shows. "These data identify the need for us to ...

In the first of their two Reviews on cardiogenic shock in acute coronary syndromes, Stephen Westaby and colleagues discuss the evolving epidemiology of this condition, its clinical presentation ...
