A JOURNEY THROUGH CARDIOGENIC SHOCK WITH IMPELLA

This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of cardiogenic shock, a critical condition characterized by the heart's inability to pump sufficient blood to meet the body's needs. We will explore the pathophysiology, causes, and risk factors associated with this life-threatening condition.

Throughout the session, we will follow a patient’s journey from the onset of symptoms through diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention. Key clinical indicators, diagnostic tools, and management strategies will be discussed, including the use of medications, use of the impella device and potential surgical interventions.

Additionally, we will examine the role of multidisciplinary teams in enhancing patient outcomes and the importance of post-recovery support for patients experiencing cardiogenic shock. Case studies and recent advancements in treatment options will be presented to foster a deeper understanding of this complex condition.

By the end of the presentation, participants will have a clearer insight into the challenges and opportunities associated with managing cardiogenic shock, ultimately leading to improved care strategies and better patient outcomes.
