AMI Cardiogenic Shock
Early Stabilization Can Improve Outcomes in Cardiogenic Shock
Impella® heart pumps have the ability to stabilize patient hemodynamics, unload the left ventricle, perfuse end organs, and allow for recovery of the native heart in patients with ongoing cardiogenic shock. Identifying patients early, treating them with a proven protocol, and following them with hemodynamic monitoring and aggressive down titration of inotropes and vasopressors can reverse the downward spiral of cardiogenic shock and help patients achieve myocardial recovery.
