Assessment of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in cardiogenic shock.

Critical Care Medicine

Abstract

Intra-aortic balloon pumping (IABP) has been shown to reverse the cardiogenic shock syndrome, but the long-term results (16 to 53% survival) have, in general, been disappointing. The most productive areas for the use of IABP are in the treatment of acute myocardial ischemia where in one report of 16 patients treated with IABP and surgery 15 survived and 13 were angina free, and in the open heart surgical setting where survival ranges from 42 to 70%. The implications of these treatment modalities are discussed.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is a devastating consequence of acute myocardial infarction and is associated with an extremely high mortality. Here is the latest research.
