Serial Shock Severity Assessment: Some Answers. Still Many Questions. | ESC 2024

Rasha K. Al-Lamee, MD, PhD, JACC Deputy Editor and Navin K. Kapur MD discuss the work from the Cardiogenic Shock Working Group, which is an academic research consortium comprising ~40 hospitals in the U.S. and internationally. Their work, published in JACC and presented at the ESC meeting, addresses a critical gap in understanding cardiogenic shock by focusing on intra-hospital progression rather than overall hospitalization outcomes. A key finding from their research is that 54% of patients with SCAI B cardiogenic shock deteriorate within the first 24 hours, emphasizing the importance of early intervention during this "Golden Day." This work is crucial for refining treatment strategies and improving patient outcomes in cardiogenic shock.
