Association between mean hemodynamic variables during the first 24 h and outcomes in cardiogenic shock: identification of clinically relevant thresholds

Crit CarePublished Post hoc analysis of two prospective studies

Authors' conclusion

This study is the first to identify critical hemodynamic thresholds, encompassing both macrocirculatory and tissue perfusion variables, within the initial 24 h of CS that are associated with adverse outcomes.
