Abstract
Aims: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a critical manifestation of severe cardiac dysfunction, necessitating precise evaluation of left ventricular function by transthoracic echocardiography. The prognostic value of global longitudinal strain (GLS) has not been examined in patients with CS. Therefore, we aimed to assess the prognostic significance of GLS in patients with CS.
Methods and results: This was a retrospective study of patients with CS from 2007 to 2018 who had a transthoracic echocardiography performed within 24 hours of admission. GLS was measured and conventional parameters were obtained. Left ventricular dysfunction was categorized by GLS: >9.7% (Quartile 1), 7.0%
Conclusion: GLS independently predicted short- and long-term mortality in CS patients, surpassing conventional echocardiographic parameters in prognostic value, supporting its potential role in risk stratification in this population.
期刊介绍:
European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging is a monthly international peer reviewed journal dealing with Cardiovascular Imaging. It is an official publication of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging, a branch of the European Society of Cardiology.
The journal aims to publish the highest quality material, both scientific and clinical from all areas of cardiovascular imaging including echocardiography, magnetic resonance, computed tomography, nuclear and invasive imaging. A range of article types will be considered, including original research, reviews, editorials, image focus, letters and recommendation papers from relevant groups of the European Society of Cardiology. In addition it provides a forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of cardiovascular imaging.
