Abstract

Cardiogenic shock is characterized by inadequate blood flow to the body tissues resulting from insufficient cardiac output, the volume of blood pumped into the arteries per unit time. It is associated with a poor prognosis, or expected outcome, resulting in death rates ranging between 73 and 100 percent. However, artificial heart ventricles and heart transplantation may help in managing patients with cardiogenic shock. Survival from cardiogenic shock is influenced by cardiac reserve, the ability of the heart to increase cardiac output and blood pressure to meet the needs of the body. The relationship between cardiac reserve and prognosis of patients with cardiogenic shock was assessed in 28 patients with this circulatory disorder. Eleven patients survived for at least a year of follow up. Evaluation of circulatory function was only useful in identifying the patients with severely impaired heart function who did not survive. Assessment of circulatory parameters was ineffective in distinguishing survivors from nonsurvivors among the patients with less impaired heart function. The cardiac pumping reserve can be measured by testing the response of the heart to the drug dobutamine. The dobutamine test was effective in distinguishing heart function of survivors from that of nonsurvivors. These findings show that measurement of cardiac reserve is useful in predicting the prognosis of patients with cardiogenic shock, and thus it could be very helpful in the management of these patients.
