Patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) present with critical hemodynamic compromise with low cardiac output (CO) resulting in end-organ dysfunction. Prognosis is closely related to the severity of shock and treatment of patients with CS is resource intensive. In this review, we consider the current treatment paradigms alongside the evidence that underpins them.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients transferred to a cardiac intensive-care unit from outside hospitals, compared to those of patients admitted directly to a CS centre.
Methods: Patients admitted with CS (January 1, 2014-December 31, 2019) were analyzed.
Article Synopsis
- Endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes communicate through paracrine signals to maintain heart health and function, impacting both development and performance.
- The study reviews how signals from endothelial cells affect cardiomyocyte growth and contraction, while cardiomyocytes influence blood vessel formation and tone.
- Disruptions in this cell communication can lead to various diseases, underscoring the importance of understanding their interaction for potential treatments and diagnostics.
