Overview

Cardiogenic shock is considered an emergency and irrespectively to the therapeutic approach, the target goal of any therapy is prompt revascularization of ischemic myocardium. This should be achieved in the shortest timespan possible. There are two major categories of treatment for cardiogenic shock, the medical/conservative approach and the interventional approach. The ideal treatment combines both techniques, in which medical therapy, after restored filling pressures, allows hemodynamical stabilization of the patient, until interventional methods, that contribute to the reversal of the process leading to the shock state, may performed. The interventional approach may include PCI or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) and in both techniques the goal is not only to reestablish perfusion of the occluded coronary artery, but also to prevent vessel reoclusion. If there is no access to a cardiac catheterization facility, nor the possibility of transferring the patient to one within 90 minutes, then immediately thrombolytic therapy should be considered.[1] Other important factors to increase the chances of a better outcome are: mechanical ventilation, in order to improve tissue oxygenation, and close monitoring of the therapeutic dosages, particularly of vasoactive drugs, since these have been associated with excess mortality due to toxicity effects.[2][3] Also, it is recommended invasive hemodynamic monitoring, in order to monitor and guide the effects of the therapy as well as the overall status of the patient. The success of reperfusion is usually suggested by the relief of symptoms, restoration of hemodynamic parameters and electrical stability, as well as the reduction of at least 50% in the ST-segment on the EKG, in the case of a STEMI.[1][4]

Medical Therapy

Cardiogenic shock is a medical emergency, rescusitive measures should be initiated immediately while the underlying etiology of the cardiogenic shock is promptly investigated. Myocardial infarction is the most common cause of cardiogenic shock, and when present, prompt revascularization should be performed. Other causes, such as free wall rupture, acute valvular abnormality, or left ventricular septum rupture, may require more invasive interventions.

Goals of Therapy

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by low cardiac output, high left ventricular filling pressure, and decreased blood pressure with organ hypoperfusion. Goals of therapy:

  • Increase coronary blood flow
  • Decrease myocardial energy consupmtion
  • Increase systemic blood flow

Management Plan

  • Resuscitation and general measures
  • Optimization of the blood pressure
    • Pharmacological therapy
    • Mechanical therapy
  • Reperfusion or revascularization
  • Hemodynamic monitoring and stabilization

Urgent Revascularizaiton

According to the AHA/ACC guidelines, in patients presenting with left ventricular failure, following STEMI, complicated by cardiogenic shock and irrespectively to the timespan since myocardial infarction onset, emergent revascularization procedure, either by PCI or CABG, is recommended (under a level of evidence B).[5][6][7][8] If a patient presents with a STEMI, then primary angioplasty should be considered to restore blood flow to the culprit artery, however and since vascular disease is commonly present in multiple vessels in cardiovascular patients, consideration should be given to the evaluation and restoration of flow of non-culprit territories in the setting of cardiogenic shock. For patients with cardiogenic shock complicating STEMI, who are unsuitable candidates for PCI or CABG, and in the absence of contraindications, is indicated the administration of fibrinolytic therapy (under a level of evidence B).[5][9] [10][11]

Administration of streptokinase therapy to patients with cardiogenic shock has not been associated with an improvement in survival.[12] Yet, these studies are older and limited by the infrequent use of adjunctive PCI.

Volume Management

Even though, by definition cardiogenic shock's etiology resides in a heart problem with adequate intravascular volume, fluid administration should be considered in patients with CS following acute MI, since these are often diaphoretic and relative hypovolemia may be present.[13][14] The goal of managing the patient with cardiogenic shock is to optimize the filling of the left ventricle so that the starling relationship, mechanical performance and contractility of the heart are optimized. In the setting of acute MI, a pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 18 to 20 mm Hg may optimize left ventricular filling. Filling pressures higher than this may lead to LV dilation and poorer LV function.

There are different approaches to volume management, yet some critical elements should be present in every one of them, such as: constant deliverance of oxygen, thereby ensuring adequate arterial oxygen saturation at all times; titration of the treatment to specific clinical endpoints of volume repletion and therapy guided by parameters that represent tissue and organ perfusion.[13]

Pharmacologic Hemodynamic Support

According to the recommendations of the AHA/ACC guidelines, in the case of cardiogenic shock complicating acute MI, the most common cause of CS, pharmacological therapy with vasopressor and inotropic drugs, stands as a mainstay in the management of these patients.[15] Hemodynamic monitoring is essential to assure that a target mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 60 to 65 mmHg is achieved, in order to maintain perfusion of vital organs, such as the brain, kidney and heart, as well as to monitor and guide the effects and doses of the treatment drugs. The main purpose of this hemodynamic therapy is to restore adequate tissue perfusion and to normalize the cellular metabolism.[13] However, due to the significant toxicity of these drugs, they should be given in doses as minimal as possible. This toxicity may be translated into short and long-term adverse effects, such as activation of pro-apoptotic signaling cascades, mitochondrial damage or membrane disruption and necrosis, following increases of already elevated cytosolic calcium levels in postischemic cardiac myocytes, after administration of dopamine.[16] When choosing the dosages and medications to use, it is better to choose combinations of moderate doses of different medications, than to use the maximal dose of any individual drug.[17]

Although a definitive approach to evaluate the adequacy of global perfusion and determine the adequate administration and titration of certain vasoactive medications, and proper volume manipulation, are yet to be established, this evaluation may be done by targeting:[18][13]

  • Selection of a Vasopressor or an Inotrope - In the clinical setting, patients are usually treated with a combination of vasopressors and inotropes. However, generally and according to the AHA/ACC guidelines:[19]

Attending to the fact that many vasoactive drugs have both inotropic and vasopressor actions, the selection of the adequate drug will depend on the target parameters to approach in each patient, since different drugs will work on different receptors and locations, therefore resulting in different actions. Vasoconstrictive drugs commonly aim at restoration of adequate arterial pressure, while inotropic drugs aim at increasing the cardiac output. The individual patient scenario is of extreme importance, since for instance: tissue hypoperfusion may occur in different settings, such as abnormal shunting of blood within organs, decreased perfusion or inability to deliver substrates to peripheral cells, which may justify the failure of certain therapies that aim for global hemodynamics.[13][20][21][22]

Vasopressors

The main goal of vasopressor therapy is to reach an adequate arterial pressure in order to maintain perfusion to vital organs, when in the presence of severe hypotension with shock. It is important to notice that hypotension alone may not require vasopressor therapy. Treatment should be initiated once fluid administration is shown to be insufficient to reach adequate pressures.[13][23] Vasopressors have different funtions in the different types of shock, however, in the cardiogenic type, since hypotension may exacerbate the underlying myocardial ischemia, vasopressors should be administered in order to maintain capable coronary perfusion pressure. [13] Potential vasopressor drugs include:

However, especially in critically ill patients, these effects may overlap. Other adverse effects include: immunosuppression from lymphocyte apoptosis; common arrhythmic effects of catecholamines that appear to be more prominent with the use of dopamine; and potential decrease in prolactin release.[39][40]

Inotropes

Inotropic therapy targets the improvement of myocardial contractility and therefore the increase of cardiac output. The best way to monitor its effect is to evaluate the changes in cardiac output, following a certain dosage of the drug. It is important to notice that many catecholamines have both inotropic and vasopressor effects. In the particular case of cardiogenic shock, hypoperfusion of peripheral tissues is a consequence of impaired cardiac output, therefore inotropic treatment should only be given once the etiology of shock has been established. It may be necessary to use a vasopressor drug in order to insure adequate coronary perfusion pressure.[13]

  • Levosimendan - new drug with both inotropic and vasodilatory properties that has the benefit of not increasing myocardial oxygen consumption. This is achieved by an increase of cardiac muscle calcium responsiveness, as well as the opening of ATP-dependent K+ channels. It has the possible adverse effect of causing hypotension, hence it should be carefully used in cardiogenic shock patients.[13]

Mechanical Support

Intra-aortic Balloon Placement

According to the AHA/ACC guidelines, IABP may be indicated in patients left ventricular failure, following STEMI, complicated by cardiogenic shock (under a level of evidence B) who fail to respond to pharmacological therapy.[5] In the setting of acute MI, the placement of an IABP (which reduces workload for the heart and improves perfusion of the coronary arteries) should be considered.

A recent meta-analysis of randomized trial data, however, challenges this common practice and class 1B recommendation.[50] In a meta-analysis of seven randomized trials enrolling 1009 patients, IABP placement in STEMI patients was not associated with a decrease in mortality nor improvement in left ventricular function but was associated with a higher rate of stroke and bleeding. When data from non-randomized cohort studies were evaluated in a meta-analysis (n=10,529 STEMI patients with cardiogenic shock), IABP placement was associated with an 18% relative risk reduction in 30 day mortality, among patients treated with a fibrinolytic agent. This particular analysis is confounded by the fact that those patients in whom an IABP was placed, underwent adjunctive percutaneous intervention (PCI) more frequently. In this non-randomized cohort analysis, IABP placement in patients undergoing primary angioplasty was associated with a 6% relative increase in mortality (p<0.0008). Thus, neither randomized nor observational data support IABP placement in the setting of primary PCI for cardiogenic shock and careful consideration should be given to the risk of stroke and bleeding, prior to IABP placement in this population.

Left Ventricular Assist Device Placement

According to the AHA/ACC guidelines, alternative LV assist devices may be indicated in patients with refractory cardiogenic shock for circulatory support (under a level of evidence C).[5] In the setting of pronounced hypotension, despite medical therapy and IABP placement, LV assist devices, which augment the pump-function of the heart, should be considered. A ventricular assist device should only be placed in those patients in whom cardiogenic shock is deemed to be reversible or if it is being used as a bridge option.[51]

Percutaneous LV assist devices (PLVADs) such as Tandem heart, Impella, ECMO may be used until cardiac recovery occurs, as a temporary procedure during high-risk coronary interventions, or as a bridge to definitive therapy, such as heart transplant, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or decision making. They provide improved hemodynamics in patients with cardiogenic shock.[52]

Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Placement

CABG in this setting is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity, therefore if primary angioplasty can be performed successfully, CABG is preferably avoided.

Mechanical Ventilation

Mechanical ventilation is often required in patients with cardiogenic shock to assure adequate oxygenation.

Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring

Considering the importance of proper blood pressure assessment in patients in shock, along with the fact that peripheral vasoconstriction may jeopardize blood pressure assessment through common manual sphygmomanometry, all patients should have an indwelling arterial pressure catheter placed in order to gather more accurate measurements.[53][54] This method not only supplies continuous hemodynamic data, therefore allowing a beat-to-beat analysis, useful in evaluating the response to therapy, unlike other manual methods, but also allows for the collection of arterial blood gas samples.[13][55] The most commonly used catheter is the flow-directed balloon-tipped pulmonary artery catheter, which not only allows for cardiac output determination, as it is a good method for hemodynamic assessment of these patients, as well as continuous monitoring of pulmonary artery and central venous pressure and waveforms.[56] With this device it is also possible to collect blood from the pulmonary artery, therefore enabling determination of MVO2, in order to evaluate oxygen delivery to peripheral tissues and at the same time also helping in the diagnosis of left-to-right shunts, usually associated with anatomic abnormalities. All these features make the flow-directed balloon-tipped pulmonary artery catheter a good tool for diagnosis, management and monitoring of therapy of cardiogenic shock patients.[57]

Other monitoring techniques include:[58]

Contraindicated medications

Cardiogenic shock is considered an absolute contraindication to the use of the following medications:

General and Specific Considerations (DO NOT EDIT)[5][70]

Class I
"1. Primary PCI should be performed for patients less than 75 years old with ST elevation or presumably new left bundle-branch block who develop shock within 36 hours of MI and are suitable for revascularization that can be performed within 18 hours of shock, unless further support is futile because of the patient’s wishes or contraindications/unsuitability for further invasive care. (Level of Evidence: A)"
"7. Primary PCI should be performed in patients with STEMI and cardiogenic shock or acute severe HF, irrespective of time delay from myocardial infarction (MI) onset.[6][71][72] (Level of Evidence: B)"


Class IIa
"1. Primary PCI is reasonable for selected patients 75 years or older with ST elevation or left bundle-branch block or who develop shock within 36 hours of MI and are suitable for revascularization that can be performed within 18 hours of shock. Patients with good prior functional status who are suitable for revascularization and agree to invasive care may be selected for such an invasive strategy. (Level of Evidence: B)"
