Congestion in AMI-Cardiogenic Shock: Rethinking Treatment Goals

Published:December 16, 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cardfail.2022.12.003
      Cardiogenic shock (CS) is traditionally considered a perfusion disorder related to low cardiac output; its severity is classified based on the extent of hemodynamic instability and end-organ hypoperfusion.

      However, there is increasing recognition of the prognostic significance of coexisting congestion, and there is a demonstrated association of certain congestive profiles with higher in-hospital mortality rates.

      In CS related to heart failure (or nonacute myocardial infarction [AMI]-related shock), biventricular congestion was common and was associated with significantly higher mortality rates than left ventricular (LV)-predominant failure.

      In AMI shock, early, selective revascularization is associated with a survival benefit when compared to medical therapy alone.

      Mortality rates associated with AMI-CS have remained persistently elevated despite significant advances in revascularization techniques over the past 2 decades, suggesting a gap in treatment strategies.

      In recent years, LV unloading prior to coronary reperfusion has been shown to reduce infarct size and to trigger cardioprotective phenomena in preclinical models.

      Left ventricular unloading increases the coronary collateral flow index before reperfusion and reduces infarct size in a swine model of acute myocardial infarction.
      Treatment of congestion has, therefore, become an important therapeutic goal in CS, regardless of the cause of CS.
