Heart attack warning: How often do you pee? It could be a symptom of cardiogenic shock

A HEART ATTACK – otherwise known as a myocardial infarction – occurs when the blood supply to the heart has been blocked. Symptoms of the condition include chest pain, shortness of breath and feeling lightheaded. However, that may not be the worst of it. Source link

Broken heart syndrome: How complications affect death risk

New research finds that people who develop cardiogenic shock as a complication of broken heart syndrome have an increased risk of death, both in the short-term and in later years.

Stressful life events can sometimes put a strain on the heart, quite literally.

A large-scale study from 2018, for example, has confirmed that psychological distress caused by anxiety or depression can boost a…

Successful cardiogenic shock treatment using a percutaneous left ventricular assist device

[ad_1] Scientists have succeeded in minimally invasive treatment of a patient with acute heart failure due to medical treatment-resistant cardiogenic shock by making use of Impella, a percutaneous auxiliary artificial heart, for the first time in Japan. This method is anticipated as a new therapy for treating patients with acute heart failure due to medical treatment-resistant cardiogenic shock. […

ERLING R. - LIVING TO TELL THE TALE

Erling R. was working in Cary, MS separating cows with his son when he began feeling strange. “I was getting very, very tired,” Erl says, “And I started feeling a little pain in my chest.”

Erling had quit smoking the month before and thought the burning in his chest was his lungs aching from the withdrawal.

He left early to drive home to New Orleans to rest. Shortly after falling asleep, he was awoken by an immense pain in his chest. “I decided I was going to drive myself to the best heart hospital that I knew of,” Erl recalls.

Upon arriving at Ochsner, Erl was in cardiogenic shock, hypertensive and in congestive heart failure. At that time, he was treated with an Impella, a state-of-the-art heart pump, and his blood pressure immediately stabilized.

I decided I was going to drive myself to the best heart hospital that I knew of.

A multi-device approach, encompassing active #leftventricular (LV) support with Impella, is safe and can significantly improve survival in patients with cardiogenic shock.

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) plays a crucial role in the treatment of #cardiogenic shock.A combined multidevice approach may overcome the limitations of each form of support.

The present study investigated the role of percutaneous Impella device in the contemporary MCS armamentarium.The study was done in 22 patients with cardiogenic shock of heterogenous etiology.

They were treated with the following combination of MCS armamentarium. 4 patients were treated with #Impella alone8 patients were treated with Impella and IABP6 patients with Impella and VA ECMO4 patients with Impella, IABP and VA ECMOThe study suggests that the strategy to increase the survival of cardiogenic shock cannot be relied upon a “one size fits all”.

Systematic application of LV venting with Impella pump strikingly increases the survival rate of #cardiogenic shock patients.

Overall complications were few despite of the invasive nature of the CS management.

Overall survival was 73%. However there was a statistically significant improvement in ejection fraction and mixed SVO2 during Impella support...
