Image ‘Conventional’ markers of CS & therapy 🟰 b/w pts with AC HF-CS vs de novo HF-CS

🏷️ Per SCAI classification, CS severity ⬆️ in pts with AC HF-CS, with ⬆️☠️
Long-standing HF in pts with AC HF-CS might -> ⬇️ tolerance to acute haemodynamic decline with #CardiogenicShock

👉jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.… Current guidelines focus on the t/t of inciting event & restore end-organ perfusion; inotropes/pressors to target MAP ≥65 mm Hg.
🏷 Asses serial markers of systemic perfusion- lactate, ScVO2, UOP, Cr, LFTs, mentation, temp, and invasive hemodynamics & target accordingly
