High-Dose Pharmacological Circulatory Support in Cardiogenic Shock 

Dr. Saraschandra Vallabhajosyula, a Cardiologist at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, reviews his article appearing in the July 2024 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, where he proposes groundwork for improving care for patients with cardiogenic shock, a condition that has a high mortality rate. He notes careful attention to pharmacological circulatory support levels, development of cumulative equivalencies of vasoactive medications and mechanical circulatory support, and early identification of a sicker cohort of cardiogenic shock patients requiring high-dose vasopressor support are crucial for improving outcomes in cardiogenic shock.
