Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest remain among the most challenging and lethal emergencies in modern medicine, despite major advances in diagnosis, mechanical circulatory support, and critical care. In recent years, substantial progress has been made in understanding pathophysiological mechanisms, patient phenotyping, and outcome prediction, leading to more individualized therapeutic strategies. Moreover, the integration of advanced hemodynamic monitoring, biomarkers, and novel percutaneous technologies has opened up new perspectives for both early recognition and tailored interventions.
This Special Issue of Journal of Clinical Medicine will provide an up-to-date overview of current advances and future directions in the management of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest. We invite the submission of original research articles, clinical trials, registries, reviews, and expert opinions addressing topics such as early risk stratification, mechanical circulatory support, heart–lung interactions, ECMO/ECPR, post-resuscitation care, and neurological outcomes. Contributions exploring innovative pathways, precision medicine, and multidisciplinary “shock team” models are particularly welcome.
Our aim is to foster scientific dialogue and promote evidence-based strategies that can translate into improved survival and neurological recovery for these critically ill patients.
Dr. Giulia Maj
Guest Editor
