Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, titled “Clinical Management of Cardiogenic Shock and Cardiac Arrest: 2nd Edition”. This is a new edition; we published six papers in the first edition. For more details, please visit https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/0448MPMR3Z.
Cardiogenic shock remains a complex disease entity, associated with high mortality, that compromises the well-being of patients and caregivers across healthcare systems across the world. Increased recognition of the spectral nature of cardiogenic shock has led to a movement towards early interventions associated with diagnostic profiles that inform and tailor disease-specific interventions. Importantly, severe refractory cardiogenic shock, complicated by cardiac arrest, carries an exceedingly high mortality and, paradoxically, most of the contemporary interventions are oftentimes utilized. In this context, classifications, team-based approaches, and systems of care that allow for the early recognition of the disease have emerged in an attempt to halt hemometabolic involvement and provide transitions, including heart recovery or remission. Important progress has been made with the use of distinct temporary mechanical circulatory support devices tailored to right, left, or biventricular support; however, knowledge gaps remain on the multiple associated clinical interventions required to help patients transition to longitudinal well-being. Aspects related to decongestion, weaning, and the escalation of temporary MCS, as well as strategies that promote ambulation, nutrition, and end-organ recovery (including neuroprotection after cardiac arrest), are some of the ongoing clinical questions that need to be addressed to best understand this rapidly evolving field and guide clinicians. In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on the clinical advances in the management of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest.
