SHOCK Trial MortalitySHOCK Trial Mortality
Patients with ST segment elevation MI who have cardiogenic shock and are less than 75 years of age should be brought immediately or secondarily transferred to facilities capable of cardiac catheterization and rapid revascularization (PCI or CABG) if it can be performed within 18 hours of onset of shock. (Level of Evidence: A)
ACC/AHA Class I IndicationACC/AHA Class I Indication
Despite ACC/AHA recommendation to treat patients < 75 years of age aggressively with early mechanical revascularization, in 2001, two years after the guidelines were published, only 41% of patients with cardiogenic shock complicating AMI were treated with primary PTCA and only 3.1% underwent early CABG.
These data demonstrate significant underutilization of guideline recommended therapy.

Cardiogenic ShockCardiogenic Shock
Average LVEF is only moderately severely depressed (30%), with a wide range of EFs and LV sizes noted.
Systemic vascular resistance (SVR) on vasopressors is not elevated on average (~ 1350), with a very wide range of SVRs measured.
A clinically evident systemic inflammatory response syndrome is often present in patients with CS.
Most survivors (85%) have NYHA functional Class I-II CHF status.

Cardiogenic shock IS NOT simply the result of severe depression of LV function due to extensive myocardial ischemia/injury.
Depressed Myocardial Contractility combined with Inadequate Systemic Vasoconstriction resulting from a systemic inflammatory response to extensive myocardial ischemia/injury results in cardiogenic shock .

Nitric oxide synthase inhibition can raise blood pressure in patients with persistent cardiogenic shock after percutaneous intervention.
The mechanism of this effect is unknown, but may involve both an effect on coronary and other organ perfusion pressure, and potentially an improvement in cardiac function.

JAMA. 1995;273:1450.
Catecholamine levels are increased in CHF
Higher levels correlate with worse disease severity
Catecholamines contribute to myocyte hypertrophy and necrosis (apoptosis)
More ischemia, arrhythmia, vasoconstriction, and LV dilatation

Mortality 18.5% (placebo) vs. 11.4% with carvedilol 35% reduction (p < .00013)
No difference in withdrawal rates
Mortality curves diverge w/in three weeks, thus beneficial effects are not delayed and can occur at low dose

First head-to-head mortality study comparing two beta-blocking agents in CHF - - carvedilol vs. short-acting metoprolol titrate

Carvedilol compared to metoprolol reduced annual mortality from 10.0% to 8.3% and prolonged median survival by 1.4 years

Angiotensin Receptor Blockers in CHFAngiotensin Receptor Blockers in CHF
ARBs should be used in patients intolerant of ACE inhibitors.
ARBs can be added on in patients receiving ACE-inhibitors and beta blockers with a small added benefit.
Increased risk of hypotension, hyperkalemia, and renal insufficiency when added on to ACE-I and beta-blocker therapy.

Aldosterone Blockers in CHFAldosterone Blockers in CHF
Aldosterone blockers should be used in patients with chronic heart failure with low EF (spironolactone) and in patients post-MI and heart failure with EF < 40% or diabetes mellitus (eplerenone)
Contraindications - - renal insufficiency (creat > 2.5 mg%) or hyperkalemia (over 5.0)
Patients on aldosterone blockers must have renal function and electrolytes carefully and frequently monitored

6,800 pts, 94% ACE - I, little beta-blocker, f/u 37 mos
Total and CV mortality - - no significant differences
Decreased need for hospitalization for CHF, 2% hosp for dig toxicity
Summary - - use digoxin for symptomatic benefit, not mortality benefit
