Cardiogenic shock is a lethal condition. Physicians are searching for hemodynamic markers which could help risk-stratification of patients in this picture. Torgersen and coworkers present an hourly time integral of the cardiac power index and cardiac index drops to predict outcomes in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Continuous monitoring of hemodynamic markers may have a role in prediction of outcomes.
心原性休克是一种致命的病症。医生正在寻找血流动力学标志物,以帮助对这种情况下的患者进行风险分层。Torgersen 及其同事提出了心脏功率指数的每小时时间积分和心指数下降,以预测心原性休克时的结果。连续监测血流动力学标志物可能在预测结果方面具有作用。
