Systems of Care in Cardiogenic Shock

Abstract

Cardiogenic shock presents a significant challenge to the medical community, and there is much debate as to the best classification system and treatment mechanisms. As interventions and technologies improve, systems of care for patients with cardiogenic shock must evolve as well. This review describes the current treatment models for cardiogenic shock, including the "hub-and-spoke" model, and defines specific characteristics of the ideal system of care for this patient population.

Keywords: cardiogenic shock; heart failure; system of care.
