Cardiac power is the strongest hemodynamic correlate of mortality in cardiogenic shock: a report from the SHOCK trial registry.
We sought to analyze clinical, angiographic, and outcome correlates of hemodynamic parameters in cardiogenic shock. ⋯ Cardiac power is the strongest independent hemodynamic correlate of in-hospital mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock. Increasing age and female gender are independently associated with lower cardiac power.
