RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In selected cases of cardiogenic shock, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is combined with trans valvular micro axial flow pumps (ECMELLA). Observational studies indicate that ECMELLA may reduce mortality but exposing the patient to two advanced mechanical support devices may affect the early inflammatory response. We aimed to explore inflammatory biomarkers in a porcine cardiogenic shock model managed with V-A ECMO or ECMELLA. METHODS: Fourteen landrace pigs had acute myocardial infarction-induced cardiogenic shock with minimal arterial pulsatility by microsphere embolization and were afterwards managed 1:1 with either V-A ECMO or ECMELLA for 4 h. Serial blood samples were drawn hourly and analyzed for serum concentrations of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and serum amyloid A (SAA). RESULTS: An increase in IL-6, IL-8, and SAA levels was observed during the experiment for both groups. At 2-4 h of support, IL-6 levels were higher in ECMELLA compared to V-A ECMO animals (difference: 1416 pg/ml, 1278 pg/ml, and 1030 pg/ml). SAA levels were higher in ECMELLA animals after 3 and 4 h of support (difference: 401 ng/ml and 524 ng/ml) and a significant treatment-by-time effect of ECMELLA on SAA was identified (p = 0.04). No statistical significant between-group differences were observed in carotid artery blood flow, urine output, and lactate levels. CONCLUSIONS: Left ventricular unloading with Impella during V-A ECMO resulted in a more extensive inflammatory reaction despite similar end-organ perfusion.
RESUMO
AIMS: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) with profound left ventricular (LV) failure is associated with inadequate LV emptying. To unload the LV, VA-ECMO can be combined with Impella CP (ECMELLA). We hypothesized that ECMELLA improves cardiac energetics compared with VA-ECMO in a porcine model of cardiogenic shock (CS). METHODS AND RESULTS: Land-race pigs (weight 70 kg) were instrumented, including a LV conductance catheter and a carotid artery Doppler flow probe. CS was induced with embolization in the left main coronary artery. CS was defined as reduction of ≥50% in cardiac output or mixed oxygen saturation (SvO2) or a SvO2 < 30%. At CS VA-ECMO was initiated and embolization was continued until arterial pulse pressure was <10 mmHg. At this point, Impella CP was placed in the ECMELLA arm. Support was maintained for 4 h. CS was induced in 15 pigs (VA-ECMO n = 7, ECMELLA n = 8). At time of CS MAP was <45 mmHg in both groups, with no difference at 4 h (VA-ECMO 64 mmHg ± 11 vs. ECMELLA 55 mmHg ± 21, P = 0.08). Carotid blood flow and arterial lactate increased from CS and was similar in VA-ECMO and ECMELLA [239 mL/min ± 97 vs. 213 mL/min ± 133 (P = 0.6) and 5.2 ± 3.3 vs. 4.2 ± 2.9 mmol/ (P = 0.5)]. Pressure-volume area (PVA) was significantly higher with VA-ECMO compared with ECMELLA (9567 ± 1733 vs. 6921 ± 5036 mmHg × mL/min × 10-3, P = 0.014). Total diureses was found to be lower in VA-ECMO compared with ECMELLA [248 mL (179-930) vs. 506 mL (418-2190); P = 0.005]. CONCLUSIONS: In a porcine model of CS, we found lower PVA, with the ECMELLA configuration compared with VA-ECMO, indicating better cardiac energetics without compromising systemic perfusion.

BACKGROUND: The effects of temporary mechanical circulatory support with a microaxial flow pump on mortality among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock remains unclear. METHODS: In an international, multicenter, randomized trial, we assigned patients with STEMI and cardiogenic shock to receive a microaxial flow pump (Impella CP) plus standard care or standard care alone. The primary end point was death from any cause at 180 days. A composite safety end point was severe bleeding, limb ischemia, hemolysis, device failure, or worsening aortic regurgitation. RESULTS: A total of 360 patients underwent randomization, of whom 355 were included in the final analysis (179 in the microaxial-flow-pump group and 176 in the standard-care group). The median age of the patients was 67 years, and 79.2% were men. Death from any cause occurred in 82 of 179 patients (45.8%) in the microaxial-flow-pump group and in 103 of 176 patients (58.5%) in the standard-care group (hazard ratio, 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.55 to 0.99; P = 0.04). A composite safety end-point event occurred in 43 patients (24.0%) in the microaxial-flow-pump group and in 11 (6.2%) in the standard-care group (relative risk, 4.74; 95% CI, 2.36 to 9.55). Renal-replacement therapy was administered to 75 patients (41.9%) in the microaxial-flow-pump group and to 47 patients (26.7%) in the standard-care group (relative risk, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.27 to 3.09). CONCLUSIONS: The routine use of a microaxial flow pump with standard care in the treatment of patients with STEMI-related cardiogenic shock led to a lower risk of death from any cause at 180 days than standard care alone. The incidence of a composite of adverse events was higher with the use of the microaxial flow pump.

Background The response of the left ventricle to cardiogenic shock (CS) caused by right ventricular (RV) infarction and the effect of treatment with either vasoactive treatment or Impella RP are not well described. We sought to determine RV and left ventricular longitudinal strain (LS) by echocardiography after initiation of either Impella RP or vasoactive treatment for CS induced by right coronary artery embolization. Methods and Results CS was induced with microsphere embolization in the right coronary artery in 20 pigs. Shock was defined as a reduction in cardiac output of ≥50% and/or an SvO2 <30%. At the time of CS either Impella RP or vasoactive treatment (norepinephrine and milrinone) was initiated. Echocardiography and conductance measures were obtained at baseline, when CS was present, and 30, 90, and 180 minutes after induction of CS. Of 20 animals, 14 completed the protocol and were treated with either vasoactive treatment (n=7) or Impella RP (n=7); 6 animals died (3 in each group). In the RV there was a significantly higher LS with the vasoactive treatment compared with Impella RP (-7.6% [4.5] to -6.0% [5.2] vs -4.5% [6.6] to -14.2% [10.6]; P<0.006). Left ventricular LS improved with both treatments compared with shock, but with a larger effect (-9.4% [3.2] to -17.9% [3.6]) on LS with vasoactive treatment than Impella RP (-9.8% [3.1] to -12.3% [4.6]; P<0.001). We found a significant correlation between stroke work and RV LS (r=-0.60, P<0.001) and left ventricular LS (r=-0.62, P<0.001). Conclusions We found significantly higher hemodynamic effects with vasoactive treatment compared with Impella RP in both the RV and left ventricular but at a cost of increased stroke work.

Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) comprises a heterogeneous population with high mortality. Insight in timing and cause of death may improve understanding of the condition and aid individualization of treatment. This was assessed in a retrospective, multicenter observational cohort study based on 1,716 patients with AMICS treated during the period of 2010 to 2017, of whom 904 died before hospital discharge. Patients with AMICS were identified through national registries and review of individual patients charts. In 904 patients with AMICS who died before hospital discharge (median age 72 years [interquartile range (IQR) 63 to 79], 70% men), 342 (38%) had suffered out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The most frequent cause of death was primary cardiac (54%), whereas 24% died of neurologic injury, and 20% of multiorgan failure (MOF). Time to death was 13 hours (IQR 5 to 43) for heart failure; 140 hours (IQR 95 to 209) in neurologic injury; and 137 hours (IQR 59 to 321) in MOF, p <0.001. The causes of death in patients presenting with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) were: neurologic injury in 57%, as opposed to 4% in patients not presenting with OHCA, p <0.001. In conclusion, in patients with AMICS, cause of death was mainly primary heart failure followed by neurologic injury and MOF. Median time from first medical contact to death was only 13 hours in patients dying from cardiac causes. The risk of dying of neurologic injury was low in patients without OHCA.

Contemporary management of cardiogenic shock (CS) with vasopressors is associated with increased cardiac workload and despite the use of unloading devices such as the Impella pump, concomitant vasopressors are often necessary. Therefore, we compared if cardiac workload could be reduced and end-organ perfusion preserved with biventricular support (Bipella) compared to ImpellaCP and norepinephrine in pigs with left ventricular (LV) CS caused by left main coronary microembolization. Cardiac workload was calculated from heart rate × ventricular pressure-volume area obtained from conductance catheters placed in the LV and right ventricle (RV), whereas organ perfusion was measured from venous oxygen saturation in the pulmonary artery (SvO 2 ) and the kidney- and the cerebral vein. A cross-over design was used to access the difference after 30 minutes of ImpellaCP and norepinephrine 0.1 µg/kg/min versus Bipella for 60 minutes. Bipella treatment reduced LV workload ( p = 0.0078) without significant difference in RV workload from ImpellaCP and norepinephrine, however a decrease in SvO 2 (49[44-58] vs . 66[63-73]%, p = 0.01) and cerebral venous oxygen saturations (62[48-66] vs . 71[63-77]%, p = 0.016) was observed during Bipella compared to ImpellaCP and norepinephrine. We conclude that Bipella reduced LV workload but did not preserve end-organ perfusion compared to ImpellaCP and norepinephrine in short-term LV CS.

Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a heterogeneous syndrome with varied presentations and outcomes. We used a machine learning approach to test the hypothesis that patients with CS have distinct phenotypes at presentation, which are associated with unique clinical profiles and in-hospital mortality. Methods and Results We analyzed data from 1959 patients with CS from 2 international cohorts: CSWG (Cardiogenic Shock Working Group Registry) (myocardial infarction [CSWG-MI; n=410] and acute-on-chronic heart failure [CSWG-HF; n=480]) and the DRR (Danish Retroshock MI Registry) (n=1069). Clusters of patients with CS were identified in CSWG-MI using the consensus k means algorithm and subsequently validated in CSWG-HF and DRR. Patients in each phenotype were further categorized by their Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions staging. The machine learning algorithms revealed 3 distinct clusters in CS: "non-congested (I)", "cardiorenal (II)," and "cardiometabolic (III)" shock. Among the 3 cohorts (CSWG-MI versus DDR versus CSWG-HF), in-hospital mortality was 21% versus 28% versus 10%, 45% versus 40% versus 32%, and 55% versus 56% versus 52% for clusters I, II, and III, respectively. The "cardiometabolic shock" cluster had the highest risk of developing stage D or E shock as well as in-hospital mortality among the phenotypes, regardless of cause. Despite baseline differences, each cluster showed reproducible demographic, metabolic, and hemodynamic profiles across the 3 cohorts. Conclusions Using machine learning, we identified and validated 3 distinct CS phenotypes, with specific and reproducible associations with mortality. These phenotypes may allow for targeted patient enrollment in clinical trials and foster development of tailored treatment strategies in subsets of patients with CS.

BACKGROUND: Prognosis models based on stepwise regression methods show modest performance in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). Automated variable selection allows data-driven risk evaluation by recognizing distinct patterns in data. We sought to evaluate an automated variable selection method (least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, LASSO) for predicting 30-day mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and CS (AMICS) receiving acute percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared to two established scores. METHODS AND RESULTS: Consecutive patients with AMICS receiving acute PCI at one of two tertiary heart centres in Denmark 2010-2017. Patients were divided according to treatment with mechanical circulatory support (MCS); PCI-MCS cohort (n = 220) versus PCI cohort (n = 1180). The latter was divided into a development (2010-2014) and a temporal validation cohort (2015-2017). Cohort-specific LASSO models were based on data obtained before PCI. LASSO models outperformed IABP-SHOCK II and CardShock risk scores in discriminative ability for 30-day mortality in the PCI validation [receiver operating characteristics area under the curve (ROC AUC) 0.80 (95% CI 0.76-0.84) vs 0.73 (95% CI 0.69-0.77) and 0.70 (95% CI 0.65-0.75), respectively, P < 0.01 for both] and PCI-MCS development cohort [ROC AUC 0.77 (95% CI 0.70-0.83) vs 0.64 (95% CI 0.57-0.71) and 0.64 (95% CI 0.57-0.71), respectively, P < 0.01 for both]. Variable influence differed depending on MCS, with age being the most influential factor in the LASSO-PCI model, whereas haematocrit and estimated glomerular filtration rate were the highest-ranking factors in the LASSO-PCI-MCS model. CONCLUSION: Data-driven prognosis models outperformed established risk scores in patients with AMICS receiving acute PCI and exhibited good discriminative abilities. Observations indicate a potential use of machinelearning to facilitate individualized patient care and targeted interventions in the future.

BACKGROUND: Impaired lung function is a well-known risk factor in cardiac surgery patients and reduced forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1 ) is associated with increased mortality. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the influence of impaired diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) in unselected cardiac surgery patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of impaired DLCO and/or reduced FEV1 on post-operative mortality and morbidity in cardiac surgery patients. METHODS: In a prospective cohort study, 390 patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery underwent preoperative lung function test including spirometry and DLCO measurements. We defined reduced FEV1 as FEV1 below lower limit of normal (LLN) and impaired DLCO as DLCO <60% of predicted. RESULTS: Mortality within 1 year (90-570 days) was significantly higher in patients with impaired DLCO (12% vs 3%, P = .010) and with reduced FEV1 (9% vs 3%, P = .028). Mortality was higher in patients with impaired DLCO both in the presence and absence of FEV1 < LLN. In multivariate analysis, only impaired DLCO [OR: 3.3, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-7.5; P = .005] and age (OR: 1.1 per year, 95% CI 1.0-1.2; P = .001) were independent predictors of the combined outcome of mortality and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Impaired DLCO was also associated with post-operative respiratory complications. CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery, preoperative impaired FEV1 and DLCO were associated with increased mortality and morbidity. In multivariate analysis, only DLCO and age were independent predictors of a combined outcome of mortality and prolonged ICU stay.

The aim was to translationally compare a pharmacologic strategy versus treatment with the Impella RP in profound RV cardiogenic shock (CS). The pigs were allocated to either vasoactive therapy with norepinephrine (0.10 µg/kg/min) for the first 30 min, supplemented by an infusion of milrinone (0.4 µg/kg/min) for additional 150 min, or treatment with the Impella RP device for 180 min. Total RV workload (Pressure-volume-area × heart rate*103(mmHg/min)) remained unaffected upon treatment with the Impella RP and increased in the vasoactive group (CS 179[147;228] to norepinephrine 268[247;306](p = 0.002 compared to Impella RP) and norepinephrine + milrinone 366[329;422] (p = 0.002 compared to Impella RP). A trend towards higher venous cerebral oxygen saturation was observed with norepinephrine than Impella RP (Impella RP 51[47;61]% vs norepinephrine 62[57;71]%; p = 0.07), which became significantly higher with the addition of milrinone (Impella RP 45[32;63]% vs norepinephrine + milrinone 73[66;81]%; p = 0.002). The Impella RP unloaded the failing RV. In contrast, vasoactive treatment led to enhanced cerebral venous oxygen saturation.

AIMS: The objective was to describe patient characteristics, interventions, and outcome in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS), due to predominantly right ventricular (RV) failure after revascularization, in comparison with patients suffering from left ventricular (LV) failure as these patients remain sparsely characterized. METHODS AND RESULTS: From 2010 to 2017, consecutive AMICS patients admitted to either of two tertiary heart centres, covering 3.9 million citizens, corresponding to two-thirds of the Danish population, were identified and individually reviewed through patient records. A total of 1716 AMICS patients were identified, of which 1482 underwent acute revascularization and included for analysis. Hereof, 101 (7%) patients developed cardiogenic shock due to predominantly RV failure, while 1381 (93%) had significant LV involvement. Female sex was the only demographic factor associated with RV failure (35% vs. 25%, P = 0.01). Despite having a preserved LV ejection fraction, patients with predominantly RV failure were comparable to patients with LV involvement, in terms of haemodynamic and metabolic profile, here among variables commonly used in the cardiogenic shock definition including blood pressure (82 mmHg vs. 83 mmHg, P = 0.90) and lactate level (5.7 mmol/L vs. 5.4 mmol/L, P = 0.70). Patients with RV AMICS had significantly lower 30-day mortality than LV AMICS, and this result persisted after multivariable adjustment (RV vs. LV; hazard ratio 0.61, 95% confidence interval 0.41-0.92, P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: In contemporary AMICS patients undergoing revascularization, patients with predominantly RV failure had comparable haemodynamics and metabolic derangement on admission compared to patients with LV failure but was associated with female sex and a significantly lower 30-day mortality.

Bleeding after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. The frequency and consequences of bleeding events in patients with AMICS are not well described. The objective was to investigate incidence and outcome of bleeding complications among unselected patients with AMI complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) and referred for immediate revascularization. Bleeding events were assessed by review of medical records in consecutive AMICS patients admitted between 2010 and 2017. Bleedings during admission were classified according to Bleeding Academic Research Consortium classification. Patients who did not survive to admission in the intensive care unit were excluded. Of the 1,716 patients admitted with AMICS, 1,532 patients (89%) survived to ICU admission. At 30 days, mortality was 48%. Severe bleedings classified as BARC 3/5 were seen in 87 non-coronary bypass grafting patients (6.1%). Co-morbidity did not differ among patients; however, patients who had a BARC 3/5 bleeding had significantly higher lactate and lower systolic blood pressure at admission, indicating a more severe state of shock. The use of mechanical assist devices was significantly associated with severe bleeding events. Univariable analysis showed that patients with a BARC 3/5 bleeding had a significantly higher 30-day mortality hazard compared with patients without severe bleedings. The association did not sustain after multivariable adjustment (hazard ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.64; 1.26, pâ¯=â¯0.52). In conclusion, severe bleeding events according to BARC classification in an all-comer population of patients with AMICS were not associated with higher mortality when adjusting for immediate management, hemodynamic, and metabolic state. This indicates that mortality in these patients is primarily related to other factors.

OBJECTIVES: Brain dysfunction is a serious complication after cardiac surgery. In the Perfusion Pressure Cerebral Infarcts trial, we allocated cardiac surgery patients to a mean arterial pressure of either 70-80 or 40-50 mmHg during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). In this secondary analysis, we compared selected cerebral metabolites using magnetic resonance spectroscopy hypothesizing that a postoperative decrease in occipital grey matter (GM) N-acetylaspartate-to-total-creatine ratio, indicative of ischaemic injury, would be found in the high-target group. METHODS: Of the 197 patients randomized in the Perfusion Pressure Cerebral Infarcts trial, 55 and 42 patients had complete and useful data from GM and white matter (WM), respectively. Spectroscopies were done preoperatively and on postoperative days 3-6. Cognitive function was assessed prior to surgery, at discharge and at 3 months. We predefined the statistical significance level to be 0.01. RESULTS: A postoperative decrease was found in GM N-acetylaspartate-to-total-creatine ratio in the high-target group [mean difference -0.09 (95% confidence interval -0.14 to -0.04), P = 0.014]. No significant differences were found in other metabolite ratios investigated in GM or WM. No significant association was found between changes in metabolite ratios and new cerebral infarcts, WM lesion score or cognitive dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS: A higher mean arterial pressure during CPB was associated with signs of impaired cerebral metabolism, though not at the predefined significance level of 0.01. No significant association was found between metabolite ratio changes and neuroradiological pathology or change in cognitive function.

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication following cardiac surgery associated with increased mortality. Red blood cell transfusion enhances the risk of developing AKI. However, the impact of other blood products on AKI is virtually unexplored. The aim of this study was to explore if transfusion of red blood cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets alone or in combination were associated with postoperative AKI. METHODS: Patients undergoing elective on-pump cardiac surgery were included (n = 1960) between 2012 to 2014. Transfusion data were collected intraoperatively and until the first postoperative day. AKI was classified according to the KDIGO criteria. Data were analysed using univariate and stepwise multiple logistic regression with adjustment for clinical risk factors and complementary blood products. RESULTS: AKI was observed in 542 patients (27.7%). In univariate analysis and following adjustment for clinical risk factors, administration of red blood cells, freshfrozen plasma and platelets were all independently associated with KDIGO stage 2-3. Following additional adjustment for complementary blood products, only red blood cell transfusion remained significantly associated with AKI. A dose-dependent association between volume of red blood cells and degree of AKI severity was observed. CONCLUSION: Transfusion of all blood products in a dose-dependent manner increased the risk for AKI. However, in multivariate analysis combining all blood products, only red blood cell transfusion remained significantly associated with AKI development.

BACKGROUND: As existing results are diverging, and the patient population has changed significantly, this study sought to investigate the prognostic importance of the culprit lesion location in patients with cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction (AMICS), in a contemporary and unselected patient population. METHODS: From the recruitment area of two tertiary heart centres in Denmark, covering 3.9 million citizens corresponding to two-thirds of the Danish population, all AMICS patients in the period of 2010-2017 were individually identified and validated through patient records. RESULTS: A total of 1716 patients with AMICS were identified. Immediate revascularization was performed in 1482 patients (86%). Among these, a culprit lesion in the left main coronary artery (LM) was associated with the highest 30-day mortality rate (66%), plogrank<0.0001, which persisted after multivariable adjustment for variables known to be associated with mortality in AMICS, including age, gender, heart rate, lactate, diabetes, stroke and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, p=0.002. A culprit lesion in the remaining coronary arteries had comparable and lower 30-day mortality (43-48%), plogrank=0.39. Patients with multivessel disease had comparable prognoses irrespective of whether a culprit-only or multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention strategy was used (plogrank=0.80), and whether partial or complete revascularization was achieved (plogrank=0.24). CONCLUSIONS: Among AMICS patients undergoing revascularization, a LM culprit lesion was associated with the highest short-term mortality, whereas patients with a culprit lesion in the remaining coronary arteries had comparable and lower mortality rates. Multivessel disease patients had similar prognoses irrespective of percutaneous coronary intervention approach and whether partial or complete revascularization was achieved.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Concomitant vasoactive drugs are often required to maintain adequate perfusion pressure in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and cardiogenic shock (CS) receiving hemodynamic support with an axial flow pump (Impella CP). OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of equipotent dosages of epinephrine, dopamine, norepinephrine, and phenylephrine on cardiac work and end-organ perfusion in a porcine model of profound ischemic CS supported with an Impella CP. METHODS: CS was induced in 10 pigs by stepwise intracoronary injection of polyvinyl microspheres. Hemodynamic support with Impella CP was initiated followed by blinded crossover to vasoactive treatment with norepinephrine (0.10 µg/kg/min), epinephrine (0.10 µg/kg/min), or dopamine (10 µg/kg/min) for 30 min each. At the end of the study, phenylephrine (10 µg/kg/min) was administered for 20 min. The primary outcome was cardiac workload, a product of pressure-volume area (PVA) and heart rate (HR), measured using the conductance catheter technique. End-organ perfusion was assessed by measuring venous oxygen saturation from the pulmonary artery (SvO2), jugular bulb, and renal vein. Treatment effects were evaluated using multilevel mixed-effects linear regression. RESULTS: All catecholamines significantly increased LV stroke work and cardiac work, dopamine to the greatest extend by 341.8 × 103 (mmHg × mL)/min [95% CI (174.1, 509.5), p < 0.0001], and SvO2 significantly improved during all catecholamines. Phenylephrine, a vasoconstrictor, caused a significant increase in cardiac work by 437.8 × 103 (mmHg × mL)/min [95% CI (297.9, 577.6), p < 0.0001] due to increase in potential energy (p = 0.001), but no significant change in LV stroke work. Also, phenylephrine tended to decrease SvO2 (p = 0.063) and increased arterial lactate levels (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: Catecholamines increased end-organ perfusion at the expense of increased cardiac work, most by dopamine. However, phenylephrine increased cardiac work with no increase in end-organ perfusion.

BACKGROUND: Children with complex CHD are at risk for psychopathology such as severe attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms after congenital heart surgery. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate if children with Ventricular Septal Defect, Transposition of Great Arteries, or Tetralogy of Fallot have an increased occurrence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms compared with the background population and to investigate differences between the three CHDs in terms of occurrence and appearance of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms. METHOD: A national register-based survey was conducted, including children aged 10-16 years with surgically corrected CHDs without genetic abnormalities and syndromes. The Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder-Rating Scale questionnaires were filled in by parents and school teachers. RESULTS: In total, 159 out of 283 questionnaires were completed among children with CHDs and compared with age- and sex-matched controls. Children with CHDs had significantly increased inattention scores (p = 0.009) and total attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder scores (p = 0.008) compared with controls. Post hoc analyses revealed that children with Tetralogy of Fallot had significantly higher inattention scores compared with children both with Ventricular Septal Defect (p = 0.043) and controls (p = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms and inattention symptoms were significantly more frequent among children aged 10-16 years with CHDs, in particular in children with corrected Tetralogy of Fallot.

BACKGROUND: Cardiogenic shock complicating ST-elevation myocardial infarction is characterised by progressive left ventricular dysfunction causing inflammation and neurohormonal activation. Often, cardiogenic shock develops after hospital admission. Whether inflammation and a neurohormonal activation precede development of clinical cardiogenic shock is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 93% of 2247 consecutive patients with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction admitted at two tertiary heart centres, admission plasma levels of pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, copeptin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and stimulation-2 were measured on hospital admission. Patients were stratified according to no cardiogenic shock development and cardiogenic shock developed before (early cardiogenic shock) or after (late cardiogenic shock) leaving the catheterization laboratory. In total, 225 (10%) patients developed cardiogenic shock, amongst these patients late cardiogenic shock occurred in 64 (2.9%). All four biomarkers were independently associated with the development of late cardiogenic shock (odds ratio per two-fold increase in risk: 1.19-3.13) even when adjusted for the recently developed Observatoire Régional Breton sur l'Infarctus risk score for prediction of late cardiogenic shock development. Furthermore, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, copeptin and mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin, but not stimulation-2, added significant predictive information, when added to the Observatoire Régional Breton sur l'Infarctus risk score (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve, pro-atrial natriuretic peptide: 0.87, p=0.0008; copeptin: 0.86, p<0.05; mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin: 0.88, p=0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, copeptin, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and stimulation-2 admission plasma concentration were associated with late cardiogenic shock development in patients admitted with suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Pro-atrial natriuretic peptide, mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin and copeptin had independent predictive value for late cardiogenic shock development.

BACKGROUND: As existing results are diverging, and the patient population has changed significantly, this study sought to investigate the prognostic importance of the culprit lesion location in patients with cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction (AMICS), in a contemporary and unselected patient population. METHODS: From the recruitment area of two tertiary heart centres in Denmark, covering 3.9 million citizens corresponding to two-thirds of the Danish population, all AMICS patients in the period of 2010-2017 were individually identified and validated through patient records. RESULTS: A total of 1716 patients with AMICS were identified. Immediate revascularization was performed in 1482 patients (86%). Among these, a culprit lesion in the left main coronary artery (LM) was associated with the highest 30-day mortality rate (66%), plogrank<0.0001, which persisted after multivariable adjustment for variables known to be associated with mortality in AMICS, including age, gender, heart rate, lactate, diabetes, stroke and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, p=0.002. A culprit lesion in the remaining coronary arteries had comparable and lower 30-day mortality (43-48%), plogrank=0.39. Patients with multivessel disease had comparable prognoses irrespective of whether a culprit-only or multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention strategy was used (plogrank=0.80), and whether partial or complete revascularization was achieved (plogrank=0.24). CONCLUSIONS: Among AMICS patients undergoing revascularization, a LM culprit lesion was associated with the highest short-term mortality, whereas patients with a culprit lesion in the remaining coronary arteries had comparable and lower mortality rates. Multivessel disease patients had similar prognoses irrespective of percutaneous coronary intervention approach and whether partial or complete revascularization was achieved.
RESUMO
Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been used to evaluate regional cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (ScO2) during the last decades. Perioperative management algorithms advocate to maintain ScO2, by maintaining or increasing cardiac output (CO), e.g. with fluid infusion. We hypothesized that ScO2 would increase in responders to a standardized fluid challenge (FC) and that the relative changes in CO and ScO2 would correlate. This study is a retrospective substudy of the FLuid Responsiveness Prediction Using Extra Systoles (FLEX) trial. In the FLEX trial, patients were administered two standardized FCs (5 mL/kg ideal body weight each) during cardiac surgery. NIRS monitoring was used during the intraoperative period and CO was monitored continuously. Patients were considered responders if stroke volume increased more than 10% following FC. Datasets from 29 non-responders and 27 responders to FC were available for analysis. Relative changes of ScO2 did not change significantly in non-responders (mean difference - 0.3% ± 2.3%, p = 0.534) or in fluid responders (mean difference 1.6% ± 4.6%, p = 0.088). Relative changes in CO and ScO2 correlated significantly, p = 0.027. Increasing CO by fluid did not change cerebral oxygenation. Despite this, relative changes in CO correlated to relative changes in ScO2. However, the clinical impact of the present observations is unclear, and the results must be interpreted with caution.Trial registration:http://ClinicalTrial.gov identifier for main study (FLuid Responsiveness Prediction Using Extra Systoles-FLEX): NCT03002129.
