More than a quarter of patients with early-stage cardiogenic shock had to be transferred to a higher level of care, progressed to a worse stage of shock, or died, according to a study in six US ...

Circulatory shock is present when physical signs and changes in laboratory values suggest tissue hypoperfusion. This article in the Critical Care Medicine series reviews the diagnosis and treatment ...

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 ...

Cardiogenic shock describes a physiological state of end-organ hypoperfusion characterized by reduced cardiac output in the presence of adequate intravascular volume 1.The overall incidence of ...

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 ...

The importance of time cannot be overstated in treating all shock states, especially sepsis. All shock cases begin with tissue hypoperfusion. It is a common denominator.

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 ...
