Early Cardiogenic Shock Management
- Early recognition of cardiogenic shock using clinical signs and lab markers like lactate is crucial.
- Implement standardized, interdisciplinary shock teams to improve patient outcomes and prevent end-organ damage.
Mitral Repair Mortality Insights
- Mortality after mitral transcatheter edge-to-repair varies with patient health, left ventricular function, and procedural success.
- Use of guideline-directed medical therapy at the time of valve repair significantly impacts survival.
TAVR Mortality Causes
- After TAVR, about two-thirds of deaths within one year are from non-cardiac causes.
- Common non-cardiac causes include pulmonary infections and stroke, reflecting patients' older age and comorbidities.
