This ECG (Figure 1), recorded in the emergency room, shows a wide complex tachycardia at 205 bpm. Wide complex tachycardias are more likely to be ventricular tachycardia (VT) than supraventricular ...
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) induces unfavorable left ventricular remodeling (LVR), a complex process that involves molecular, cellular, and geometric alterations leading to important changes in ...
Despite advances in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), the incidence of cardiogenic shock has remained at 7% to 10% during the last 25 years. Hospital mortality was about 90% in the 1970s; ...
A 65-year-old asymptomatic man with type 2 diabetes on insulin therapy and a history of sarcoidosis was admitted to a hospital due to a suspicion of a lung tumor. Control chest X-ray identified a ...

The syndrome of cardiogenic shock has been defined as the inability of the heart -- as a result of impairment of its pumping function -- to deliver sufficient blood flow to the tissues to meet resting ...
