The Usage of Concomitant Beta-Blockers with Vasopressors and Inotropes in Cardiogenic Shock [PDF]
Vasopressors and inotropes (Vs/Is) are widely used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS). Despite improvements in hemodynamic variables and end-organ perfusion, these agents have been associated with an increase in mortality, potentially due to the ...

Cardiogenic shock - novelty and emerging therapeutic concepts [PDF]
The cardiogenic shock is a state of low cardiac output, primarily due to cardiac dysfunction, which leads to severe organ hypoperfusion with tissue hypoxia and increased lactate levels. It presents a severe complication with a prevalence of around 15% of

Advanced heart failure: state of the art and future directions [PDF]
Advanced heart failure is a clinical challenge that requires a pathophysiological-based approach. As the field has been the subject of multiple reviews, the objective of this paper is not to duplicate these publications but rather to offer practical ...
