A case of cardiogenic shock due to ventricular dyssynchrony resolved by atrial pacing.

Unlabelled: We present a case of a man with ischemic cardiomyopathy and single chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator who developed sinus arrest creating sudden dependence on right ventricular (RV) pacing. He presented with cardiogenic shock secondary to abrupt onset ventricular dyssynchrony from RV pacing, which required emergent stabilization and completely resolved with atrial pacing.

Learning Objective: To establish a basic understanding of cardiogenic shock management.

Venous thromboembolic outcomes in patients with lymphedema and lipedema: An analysis from the National Inpatient Sample.

Background: Patients with lymphedema and lipedema share physical exam findings that may lead to misdiagnosis. Poor mobility is common in patients with obesity and patients with lymphedema and lipedema. This may constitute a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE).

Severe cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest due to fulminant cardiac sarcoidosis: a case report.

Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis is found to occur in approximately 5% of patients with sarcoidosis. Its presentation can typically range from complete heart block to ventricular arrhythmias. This condition can rarely present with severe heart failure and cardiogenic shock requiring aggressive and timely management strategies.
