Abstract
BACKGROUND Preservation of organ function and viability is a crucial factor for survival in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients. There is not information enough on cytoprotective substances that may delay organs damage in CS. We hypothesize that cytidine-5-diphosphocholine (CDP-choline) can act as a cytoprotective pharmacological measure that diminishes the target organ damage. So, we aimed to perform a review of works carried out in our institution to evaluate the effect of therapeutic cytoprotection of the CDP-choline. SUMMARY CDP-choline is an intermediate metabolite in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine. It is also a useful drug for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases and has shown an excellent pharmacological safety profile as well. We review our institution's work and described the cytoprotective effects of CDP-choline in experimental models of heart, liver, and kidney acute damage, where this compound was shown to diminish reperfusion-induced ventricular arrhythmias, oxidative stress, apoptotic cell death, inflammation, lactic acid levels and to preserve mitochondrial function. KEY MESSAGES We propose that additional research is needed to evaluate the impact of cytoprotective therapy adjuvant to mitigate target organ damage in patients with CS.

Abstract
AIMS Anaemia and iron deficiency (ID) are common comorbidities in cardiovascular patients and are associated with a poor clinical status, as well as a worse outcome in patients with heart failure and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Nevertheless, data concerning the impact of anaemia and ID on clinical outcomes in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) are scarce. This study aimed to assess the impact of anaemia and ID on clinical outcomes in patients with CS complicating AMI. METHODS AND RESULTS The presence of anaemia (haemoglobin <13 g/dl in men and <12 g/dl in women) or ID (ferritin <100 ng/ml or transferrin saturation <20%) was determined in patients with CS due to AMI from the CULPRIT-SHOCK trial. Blood samples were collected in the catheterization laboratory during initial percutaneous coronary intervention. Clinical outcomes were compared in four groups of patients having neither anaemia nor ID, against patients with anaemia with or without ID and patients with ID only. A total of 427 CS patients were included in this analysis. Anaemia without ID was diagnosed in 93 (21.7%), anaemia with ID in 54 study participants (12.6%), ID without anaemia in 72 patients (16.8%), whereas in 208 patients neither anaemia nor ID was present (48.9%). CS patients with anaemia without ID were older (73 ± 10 years, p = 0.001), had more frequently a history of arterial hypertension (72.8%, p = 0.01), diabetes mellitus (47.8%, p = 0.001), as well as chronic kidney disease (14.1%, p = 0.004) compared to CS patients in other groups. Anaemic CS patients without ID presence were at higher risk to develop a composite from all-cause death or renal replacement therapy at 30-day follow-up (odds ratio [OR] 3.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.23-6.62, p < 0.001) than CS patients without anaemia/ID. The presence of ID in CS patients, with and without concomitant anaemia, did not increase the risk for the primary outcome (OR 1.17, 95% CI 0.64-2.13, p = 0.64; and OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.59-1.73, p = 0.54; respectively) within 30 days of follow-up. In time-to-event Kaplan-Meier analysis, anaemic CS patients without ID had a significantly higher hazard ratio (HR) for the primary outcome (HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.52-2.89, p < 0.001), as well as for death from any cause (HR 1.90, 95% CI 1.36-2.65, p < 0.001) and renal replacement therapy during 30-day follow-up (HR 2.99, 95% CI 1.69-5.31, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Concomitant anaemia without ID presence in patients with CS at hospital presentation is associated with higher risk for death from any cause or renal replacement therapy and the individual components of this composite endpoint within 30 days after hospitalization. ID has no relevant impact on clinical outcomes in patients with CS.

Treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) with an electromagnetic field coupled to biorhythmically defined impulse configuration: the MicrocircMODS study. Clin Res Cardiol 2024; 113:260-275. [PMID: 37717230 PMCID: PMC10850207 DOI: 10.1007/s00392-023-02293-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To potentially improve impaired vasomotion of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), we tested whether an electromagnetic field of low flux density coupled with a biorhythmically defined impulse configuration (Physical Vascular Therapy BEMER®, PVT), in addition to standard care, is safe and feasible and might improve disturbed microcirculatory blood flow and thereby improve global haemodynamics. METHODS In a prospective, monocentric, one-arm pilot study, 10 MODS patients (APACHE II score 20-35) were included. Patients were treated, in addition to standard care, for 4 days with PVT (3 treatment periods of 8 min each day; day 1: field intensity 10.5 μT; day 2:14 μT, day 3:17.5 μT; day 4:21.0 μT). Primary endpoint was the effect of PVT on sublingual microcirculatory perfusion, documented by microvascular flow index (MFI). Patient safety, adverse events, and outcomes were documented. RESULTS An increase in MFI by approximately 25% paralleled 4-day PVT, with the increase starting immediately after the first PVT and lasting over the total 4-day treatment period. Concerning global haemodynamics (secondary endpoints), halving vasopressor use within 24 h, and haemodynamic stabilisation paralleled 4-day PVT with an increase in cardiac index, stroke volume index, and cardiac power index by 30%-50%. No adverse events (AEs) or serious adverse events (SAEs) were classified as causally related to the medical product (PVT) or study. Three patients died within 28 days and one patient between 28 and 180 days. CONCLUSION PVT treatment was feasible and safe and could be performed without obstruction of standard patient care. An increase in microcirculatory blood flow, a rapid reduction in vasopressor use, and an improvement in global haemodynamics paralleled PVT treatment. Findings of this pilot study allowed forming a concept for a randomized trial for further proof.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock causes hypoperfusion within the microcirculation, leading to impaired oxygen delivery, cell death, and progression of multiple organ failure. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is the last line of treatment for cardiac failure. The goal of MCS is to ensure end-organ perfusion by maintaining perfusion pressure and total blood flow. However, machine-blood interactions and the nonobvious translation of global macrohemodynamics into the microcirculation suggest that the use of MCS may not necessarily be associated with improved capillary flow. With the use of hand-held vital microscopes, it is possible to assess the microcirculation at the bedside. The paucity of literature on the use of microcirculatory assessment suggests the need for an in-depth look into microcirculatory assessment within the context of MCS. The purpose of this review is to discuss the possible interactions between MCS and microcirculation, as well as to describe the research conducted in this area. Regarding sublingual microcirculation, 3 types of MCS will be discussed: venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, and microaxial flow pumps (Impella).

Abstract
Despite advances in therapy, the incidence of cardiogenic shock continues to increase, with significant mortality that has improved minimally over time. Treatment options for cardiogenic shock are complex and time-, resource-, and case volume-dependent, and involve multiple medical specialties. To provide early, more equitable, and standardised access to cardiogenic shock expertise with advanced therapies, cardiogenic shock teams with a protocolised treatment approach have been proposed. These processes have been applied across hospitals into integrated cardiogenic shock networks. This narrative review evaluates the role of cardiogenic shock teams, protocolised and regionalised shock networks, and the main individual components of protocolised shock management approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with refractory cardiogenic shock can benefit from veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The use of levosimendan in VA-ECMO patients may facilitate weaning and enhance survival. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane were searched from inception to October 10th, 2021. Eligible clinical trials and observational studies reporting the use of levosimendan in VA-ECMO were searched. Two reviewers extracted data and independently assessed the risk of bias. To integrate the data, a random-effect model was applied. The success of weaning from VA-ECMO was the primary outcome. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Ten observational studies, including a total of 987 patients, were identified. Levosimendan was associated with successful weaning (362/448) compared with controls (328/539) (OR 2.37, 95% CI 1.71-3.28; P=0.01) and reduced mortality (144/433 vs. 258/507) (nine studies, OR 0.53, 95% CI 0.36-0.78; P=0.01) compared with control. CONCLUSIONS Levosimendan was associated with successful weaning and increased survival in VA-ECMO patients. Randomized trials should confirm these findings.

Abstract
AIMS Impact of skin mottling has been poorly studied in patients admitted for cardiogenic shock. This study aimed to address this issue and identify determinants of 30-day and 1-year mortality in a large cardiogenic shock cohort of all etiologies. METHODS AND RESULTS FRENSHOCK is a prospective multicenter observational registry conducted in French critical care units between April and October, 2016. Among the 772 enrolled patients (mean age 65.7 ± 14.9 years; 71.5% male), 660 had skin mottling assessed at admission (85.5%) with almost 39% of patients in cardiogenic shock presenting mottling. The need for invasive respiratory support was significantly higher in patients with mottling (50.2% vs. 30.1%, p < 0.001) and likewise for the need for renal replacement therapy (19.9% vs. 12.4%, p = 0.09). However, the need for mechanical circulatory support was similar in both groups. Patients with mottling at admission presented a higher length of stay (19 vs. 16 days, p = 0.033), a higher 30-day mortality rate (31% vs. 23.3%, p = 0.031), and also showed significantly higher mortality at 1-year (54% vs. 42%, p = 0.003). The subgroup of patients in whom mottling appeared during the first 24 h after admission had the worst prognosis at 30 days. CONCLUSION Skin mottling at admission in patients with cardiogenic shock was statistically associated with prolonged length of stay and poor outcomes. As a perfusion-targeted resuscitation parameter, mottling is a simple, clinical-based approach and may thus help to improve and guide immediate goal-directed therapy to improve cardiogenic shock patients' outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need to develop non-invasive markers to identify the occurrence of anaerobic metabolism in high-risk surgery. Our objective was to demonstrate that a goal-directed therapy algorithm incorporating the respiratory exchange ratio (ratio between CO2 production and O2 consumption) can reduce postoperative complications. METHODS We conducted a randomized, multicenter, controlled clinical trial in four university medical centers and one non-university hospital from December 26, 2018, to September 9, 2021. 350 patients with a high risk of postoperative complications undergoing high-risk noncardiac surgery lasting 2 h or longer under general anesthesia were enrolled. The control group was treated according to current hemodynamic guidelines. The interventional group was treated according to an algorithm based on the measurement of the respiratory exchange ratio. The primary outcome was a composite of major complications or death within seven days of surgery. The secondary outcomes were the length of hospital stay, 30-day mortality, and the total intraoperative volume of fluids administered. RESULTS The primary outcome occurred for 78 patients (45.6%) in the interventional group and 83 patients (48.8%) in the control group (relative risk: 0.93, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.75-1.17; p = 0.55). There were no clinically relevant differences between the two groups for secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In high-risk surgery, a goal-directed therapy algorithm integrating the measurement of the respiratory-exchange ratio did not reduce a composite outcome of major postoperative complications or death within seven days after surgery compared to routine care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This observational study was conducted to investigate capillary refill time (CRT) during the early phase of ICU admission in relationship with microvascular flow alteration and outcome in critically ill patients. DESIGN Prospective, observational, pilot study. SETTING ICU in a university hospital. PATIENTS Two hundred eighty-two critically ill adult patients admitted to the ICU. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS All patients underwent simultaneous measurements by CRT and sidestream dark field imaging within 24 hours of ICU admission. Other clinical data such as demographic characteristics, hemodynamics, laboratory values, treatment, and physiologic parameters were also included simultaneously. Microcirculatory measurements were performed at 10.2 ± 5.7 hours after ICU admission. Of the 282 included patients, 106 (37.6%) were female, the median (interquartile range) age was 63 years (53-74 yr), and the median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 5 (2-7). The primary finding was the association between CRT and simultaneous the condition of peripheral circulation (microvascular flow index [MFI]: r = -0.4430, p < 0.001; proportion of perfused vessels: r = -0.3708, p < 0.001; heterogeneity index: r = 0.4378, p < 0.001; perfused vessel density: r = -0.1835, p = 0.0020; except total vessel density: p = 0.9641; and De Backer score: p = 0.5202) in critically ill patients. In addition, this relationship was also maintained in subgroups. Microcirculatory flow abnormalities, 28-day mortality, and SOFA score appeared to be more severe for increasing CRT. In a multivariable analysis, prolonged CRT was independently associated with microvascular flow abnormalities (MFI < 2.6; odds ratio [OR], 1.608; 95% CI, 2.1-10.2; p < 0.001). Similarly, multivariable analysis identified CRT as an independent predictor of 28-day mortality (OR, 1.296; 95% CI, 1.078-1.558; p = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS In our ICU population, a single-spot prolonged CRT was independently associated with abnormal microcirculation and increased mortality.

The future of intensive care: the study of the microcirculation will help to guide our therapies. Crit Care 2023; 27:190. [PMID: 37193993 PMCID: PMC10186296 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-023-04474-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 05/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The goal of hemodynamic resuscitation is to optimize the microcirculation of organs to meet their oxygen and metabolic needs. Clinicians are currently blind to what is happening in the microcirculation of organs, which prevents them from achieving an additional degree of individualization of the hemodynamic resuscitation at tissue level. Indeed, clinicians never know whether optimization of the microcirculation and tissue oxygenation is actually achieved after macrovascular hemodynamic optimization. The challenge for the future is to have noninvasive, easy-to-use equipment that allows reliable assessment and immediate quantitative analysis of the microcirculation at the bedside. There are different methods for assessing the microcirculation at the bedside; all have strengths and challenges. The use of automated analysis and the future possibility of introducing artificial intelligence into analysis software could eliminate observer bias and provide guidance on microvascular-targeted treatment options. In addition, to gain caregiver confidence and support for the need to monitor the microcirculation, it is necessary to demonstrate that incorporating microcirculation analysis into the reasoning guiding hemodynamic resuscitation prevents organ dysfunction and improves the outcome of critically ill patients.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is usually defined as primary cardiac dysfunction with low cardiac output leading to critical organ hypoperfusion, and tissue hypoxia, resulting in high mortality rate between 40% and 50% despite recent advances. Many studies have now evidenced that cardiogenic shock not only involves systemic macrocirculation, such as blood pressure, left ventricular ejection fraction, or cardiac output, but also involves significant systemic microcirculatory abnormalities which seem strongly associated with the outcome. Although microcirculation has been widely studied in the context of septic shock showing heterogeneous alterations with clear evidence of macro and microcirculation uncoupling, there is now a growing body of literature focusing on cardiogenic shock states. Even if there is currently no consensus regarding the treatment of microcirculatory disturbances in cardiogenic shock, some treatments seem to show a benefit. Furthermore, a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology may provide hypotheses for future studies aiming to improve cardiogenic shock prognosis.

Abstract
Microvascular alterations were first described in critically ill patients about 20 years ago. These alterations are characterized by a decrease in vascular density and presence of non-perfused capillaries close to well-perfused vessels. In addition, heterogeneity in microvascular perfusion is a key finding in sepsis. In this narrative review, we report our actual understanding of microvascular alterations, their role in the development of organ dysfunction, and the implications for outcome. Herein, we discuss the state of the potential therapeutic interventions and the potential impact of novel therapies. We also discuss how recent technologic development may affect the evaluation of microvascular perfusion.

Effects of Fluids on the Sublingual Microcirculation in Sepsis. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11247277.

Abstract
Sepsis is one of the most common and deadly syndromes faced in Intensive Care settings globally. Recent advances in bedside imaging have defined the changes in the microcirculation in sepsis. One of the most advocated interventions for sepsis is fluid therapy. Whether or not fluid bolus affects the microcirculation in sepsis has not been fully addressed in the literature. This systematic review of the evidence aims to collate studies examining the microcirculatory outcomes after a fluid bolus in patients with sepsis. We will assimilate the evidence for using handheld intra vital microscopes to guide fluid resuscitation and the effect of fluid bolus on the sublingual microcirculation in patients with sepsis and septic shock. We conducted a systematic search of Embase, CENTRAL and Medline (PubMed) using combinations of the terms "microcirculation" AND "fluid" OR "fluid resuscitation" OR "fluid bolus" AND "sepsis" OR "septic shock". We found 3376 potentially relevant studies. Fifteen studies published between 2007 and 2021 fulfilled eligibility criteria to be included in analysis. The total number of participants was 813; we included six randomized controlled trials and nine non-randomized, prospective observational studies. Ninety percent used Sidestream Dark Field microscopy to examine the microcirculation and 50% used Hydroxyethyl Starch as their resuscitation fluid. There were no clear effects of fluid on the microcirculation parameters. There was too much heterogeneity between studies and methodology to perform meta-analysis. Studies identified heterogeneity of affect in the sepsis population, which could mean that current clinical classifications were not able to identify different microcirculation characteristics. Use of microcirculation as a clinical endpoint in sepsis could help to define sepsis phenotypes. More research into the effects of different resuscitation fluids on the microcirculation is needed.

Abstract
Endothelial integrity maintains microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen delivery. The endothelial glycocalyx is involved in cell signalling, coagulation and inflammation. Our ability to treat critically ill and septic patients effectively is determined by understanding the underpinning biological mechanisms. Many mechanisms govern the development of sepsis and many large trials for new treatments have failed to show a benefit. Endothelial dysfunction is possibly one of these biological mechanisms. Glycocalyx damage is measured biochemically. Novel microscopy techniques now mean the glycocalyx can be indirectly visualised, using sidestream dark field imaging. How the clinical visualisation of microcirculation changes relate to biochemical laboratory measurements of glycocalyx damage is not clear. This article reviews the evidence for a relationship between clinically evaluable microcirculation and biological signal of glycocalyx disruption in various diseases in ICU. Microcirculation changes relate to biochemical evidence of glycocalyx damage in some disease states, but results are highly variable. Better understanding and larger studies of this relationship could improve phenotyping and personalised medicine in the future. Damage to the glycocalyx could underpin many critical illness pathologies and having real-time information on the glycocalyx and microcirculation in the future could improve patient stratification, diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Despite numerous advancements in prevention, diagnosis and treatment, cardiovascular disease has remained the leading cause of mortality globally for the past 20 years. Part of the explanation for this trend is persistent difficulty in determining the severity of cardiac conditions in order to allow for the deployment of prompt therapies. This review seeks to determine the prognostic importance of cardiac power (CP) measurements, including cardiac power output (CPO) and cardiac power index (CPI), in various cardiac pathologies. CP was evaluated across respective disease-state categories which include cardiogenic shock (CS), septic shock, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), heart failure (HF), post-myocardial infarction (MI), critical cardiac illness (CCI) and an "other" category. Literature review was undertaken of articles discussing CP in various conditions and this review found utility and prognostic significance in the evaluation of TAVR patients with a significant correlation between one-year mortality and CPI; in HF patients showing CPI and CPO as valuable tools to assess cardiac function in the acute setting; and, additionally, CPO was found to be an essential tool in patients with CCI, as the literature showed that CPO was statistically correlated with mortality. Cardiac power and the derived measures obtained from this relatively easily obtained variable can allow for essential estimations of prognostic outcomes in cardiac patients.

Abstract
Background Glycocalyx shedding and subsequent endothelial dysfunction occur in many conditions, such as in sepsis, in critical illness, and during major surgery such as in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) where it has been shown to associate with organ dysfunction. Hitherto, there is no consensus about the golden standard in measuring glycocalyx properties in humans. The objective of this study was to compare different indices of glycocalyx shedding and dysfunction. To this end, we studied patients undergoing elective CABG surgery, which is a known cause of glycocalyx shedding. Materials and methods Sublingual glycocalyx thickness was measured in 23 patients by: 1) determining the perfused boundary region (PBR)-an inverse measure of glycocalyx thickness-by means of sidestream dark field imaging technique. This is stated double, 2) measuring plasma levels of the glycocalyx shedding products syndecan-1, hyaluronan, and heparan sulfate and 3) measuring plasma markers of impaired glycocalyx function and endothelial activation (Ang-2, Tie-2, E-selectin, and thrombomodulin). Measurements were performed directly after induction, directly after onset of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), and directly after cessation of CPB. We assessed changes over time as well as correlations between the various markers. Results The PBR increased from 1.81 ± 0.21 μm after induction of anesthesia to 2.27 ± 0.25 μm (p < 0.0001) directly after CPB was initiated and did not change further during CPB. A similar pattern was seen for syndecan-1, hyaluronan, heparan sulfate, Ang-2, Tie-2, and thrombomodulin. E-selectin levels also increased between induction and the start of CPB and increased further during CPB. The PBR correlated moderately with heparan sulfate, E-selectin, and thrombomodulin and weakly with Syndecan-1, hyaluronan, and Tie-2. Shedding markers syndecan-1 and hyaluronan correlated with all functional markers. Shedding marker heparan sulfate only correlated with Tie-2, thrombomodulin, and E-selectin. Thrombomodulin correlated with all shedding markers. Conclusion Our results show that glycocalyx thinning, illustrated by increased sublingual PBR and increased levels of shedding markers, is paralleled with impaired glycocalyx function and increased endothelial activation in CABG surgery with CPB. As correlations between different markers were limited, no single marker could be identified to represent the glycocalyx in its full complexity.

Abstract
Reliable assessment of the microcirculation is important to investigate microcirculatory properties in various disease states. The GlycoCheck system automatically analyzes sublingual sidestream dark field images to determine the perfused boundary region (PBR; a measure of glycocalyx thickness), red blood cell filling percentage, and microvascular vessel density. Although GlycoCheck has been used to study the microcirculation in patients, little is known about the reproducibility of measurements in healthy volunteers. We assessed intra- and interobserver agreement by having two experienced observers perform three consecutive microcirculation measurements with the GlycoCheck system in 49 healthy volunteers. Intraobserver agreement of single measurements were poor (intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) < 0.4) for PBR, red blood cell filling percentage and microvascular vessel density. ICCs increased to values > 0.6 (indicating good reproducibility) for all parameters when performing and averaging three consecutive measurements. No systematic differences were observed between observers for any parameter. Interobserver variability was fair for PBR (ICC = 0.53) and red blood cell filling percentage (ICC = 0.58) and poor for perfused vessel density (ICC = 0.20). In conclusion, GlycoCheck software can be used with acceptable reliability and reproducibility for microcirculation measurements on a population level when averaging three consecutive measurements. Repeated measurements are preferably performed by the same observer.

Influence of Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Integrated Hemoadsorption on the Early Reversal of Multiorgan and Microcirculatory Dysfunction and Outcome of Refractory Cardiogenic Shock. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11216517. [PMID: 36362744 PMCID: PMC9657372 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11216517] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/25/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the impact of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA−ECMO) integrated hemoadsorption on the reversal of multiorgan and microcirculatory dysfunction, and early mortality of refractory cardiogenic shock patients. Methods: Propensity score−matched cohort study of 29 pairs of patients. Subjects received either VA−ECMO supplemented with hemoadsorption or standard VA−ECMO management. Results: There was a lower mean sequential organ failure assessment score (p = 0.04), lactate concentration (p = 0.015), P(v−a)CO2 gap (p < 0.001), vasoactive inotropic score (p = 0.007), and reduced delta C−reactive protein level (p = 0.005) in the hemoadsorption compared to control groups after 72 h. In−hospital mortality was similar to the predictions in the control group (62.1%) and was much lower than the predicted value in the hemoadsorption group (44.8%). There were less ECMO-associated bleeding complications in the hemoadsorption group compared to controls (p = 0.049). Overall, 90-day survival was better in the hemoadsorption group than in controls without statistical significance. Conclusion: VA−ECMO integrated hemoadsorption treatment was associated with accelerated recovery of multiorgan and microcirculatory dysfunction, mitigated inflammatory response, less bleeding complications, and lower risk for early mortality in comparison with controls.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation flow or dobutamine to improve microcirculation during ECMO for refractory cardiogenic shock. J Crit Care 2022; 71:154090.

Abstract
PURPOSE Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) effectively supports refractory cardiogenic shock (rCS), and sustains macro- and microcirculations. We investigated the respective impact of increasing VA ECMO flow or dobutamine dose on microcirculation in stabilized VA ECMO-treated patients with rCS. METHODS In this prospective interventional study, we included consecutive intubated patients, with ECMO-supported rCS and hemodynamic stability, able to tolerate stepwise incremental dobutamine doses (from 5 to 20 gamma/kg/min) or ECMO flows (progressive increase by 25% above baseline ECMO flow. Baseline was defined as the lowest VA ECMO flow and dobutamine 5 μg/kg/min (DOBU5) to maintain mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg. Macro- and microcirculations were evaluated after 30 min at each level. RESULTS Fourteen patients were included. Macro- and microcirculations were assessed 2 [2-5] days post-ECMO onset. Dobutamine-dose increments did not modify any microcirculation parameters. Only the De Backer score tended to be reduced (p = 0.08) by ECMO-flow increments whereas other microcirculation parameters were not affected. These findings did not differ between patients successfully weaned-off ECMO (n = 6) or not. CONCLUSIONS When macrocirculation has already been restored in patients with ECMO-supported rCS, increasing dobutamine (above 5 μg/kg/min) or ECMO flow did not further improve microcirculation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe microcirculatory disturbance is common in patients with cardiogenic shock necessitating extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), however, biomarkers linked to microcirculation and clinical outcome are scarce. Herein we identified a circular RNA, hsa_circ_0007367, rooted from the ubiquitin-associated protein 2 (UBAP2) gene, namely circUBAP2, and evaluated its biological function and the associations with microcirculation and the prognosis. METHODS Patients on ECMO with cardiogenic shock were included if qualified sublingual microcirculation parameters could be obtained and were categorized into the survivor group or non-survivor group. Macro-circulatory, microcirculatory data, cytokine levels, and relative circUBAP2 expressions were collected before, at 24 h, and at ECMO weaning off, respectively. The effects of circUBAP2 on the migration, polarization, cytokine productions, and inflammatory pathways in macrophage NR8383 cells were investigated using in vitro methods. RESULTS Thirty-three patients with an average age of 58.0 years were enrolled, including 19 survivors and 14 non-survivors. The survivors had higher small vessel density, perfused small vessel density (PSVD), and microvascular flow index (MFI) throughout the ECMO course than did the non-survivors. Relative expression of circUBAP2 (hsa_circ_0007367) correlated with the microcirculatory parameters and satisfactorily predicted the 30-day in-hospital mortality. A multivariable logistic model was developed, showing following four predictors: age (odds ratio [OR] 1.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00-1.12), time from shock to ECMO (OR 1.10, 95% CI 1.01-1.20), PVSD (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.02-0.89), and the circUBAP2 expression (OR 0.25, 95% CI 0.08-0.78). In addition, circUBAP2 inhibited the migratory activity and promoted M2 polarization in macrophages, declining the productions of cytokines (tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, interleukin [IL]-1β, and monocyte chemotactic protein [MCP]-1) and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. CONCLUSION The expression of circUBAP2 correlates with microcirculatory perfusion and has the potential in predicting outcomes for on-ECMO patients with cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition frequently encounter in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD). AREAS COVERED Despite prompt revascularization, in particular percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), and therapeutic and technological advances, the mortality rate for CS related to AMI remains high. Differently from hemodynamically stable setting, a culprit lesion-only (CLO) revascularization strategy is currently suggested in AMI-CS patients, based on the results of a recent randomized evidence burdened by several limitations and conflicting results from non-randomized studies. Furthermore, mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices have raised as a key therapeutic option in CS, especially in case of an early implantation without delaying revascularization and before irreversible organ damage has occurred. We provide an in-depth review of current evidences on optimal revascularization strategies of multivessel CAD in infarct-related CS, assessing the role of MCS devices, and highlighting the importance of shock teams and medical care system networks to effectively impact on clinical outcomes. EXPERT OPINION Emerging observational experience suggested that an early implantation of MCS (prior to PCI), the performance of an extensive revascularization and the implementation of shock teams and networks are key factors for improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Current haemodynamic monitoring is mainly aimed at the macrocirculation. Multiple studies have demonstrated the importance of the microcirculation in relation to the patient’s condition and impact of treatment strategies. However, continuous monitoring of the microcirculation is not yet possible in the neonatal field. A novel dynamic light scattering (DLS) sensor technology for continuous monitoring of the microcirculation was investigated in the neonatal population. Thirty-one haemodynamically stable infants were included. Sequential measurements at the forehead, upper extremity, thorax, abdomen and lower extremity were conducted with the DLS sensor. For analyses stable measurements were selected. The DLS parameters, total blood flow (TBF) and relative blood velocity (RBV), were compared between measurement locations. Changes in relative haemodynamic indices (relHIs), indicating the distribution of blood flow in the microcirculatory blood vessels, were associated with heart rate decelerations. Measurements performed at the forehead had significantly lower TBF levels, compared to measurements at other locations. Early changes in relHIs around a heart rate deceleration were recorded a median (IQR) of 22.0 (13.5–27.0) s before the onset. Measurement of the currently unavailable parameters TBF, RBV and relHIs is possible with DLS technology. Validation of the DLS technology is needed for clinical implementation.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence suggest that the adverse outcome of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is closely related to prothrombotic microvascular pathology with a high risk of venous thromboembolism. Furthermore, the first observational studies indicated that adjunct therapy with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) was associated with lower mortality in this cohort of patients. However, the timing of starting LMWH and the dose remain controversial in COVID-19 patients. Considering the above, the aim of this study was to reveal the rationale for using LMWH in the therapy of symptomatic COVID-19 patients based on experimental and clinical studies on LMWH in inflammatory settings with special consideration given to randomized trials.

Abstract
Throughout the long history of surgery, there has been great advancement in the hemodynamic management of surgical patients. Traditionally, hemodynamic management has focused on macrocirculatory monitoring and intervention to maintain appropriate oxygen delivery. However, even after optimization of macro-hemodynamic parameters, microcirculatory dysfunction, which is related to higher postoperative complications, occurs in some patients. Although the clinical significance of microcirculatory dysfunction has been well reported, little is known about interventions to recover microcirculation and prevent microcirculatory dysfunction. This may be at least partly caused by the fact that the feasibility of monitoring tools to evaluate microcirculation is still insufficient for use in routine clinical practice. However, considering recent advancements in these research fields, with more popular use of microcirculation monitoring and more clinical trials, clinicians may better understand and manage microcirculation in surgical patients in the future. In this review, we describe currently available methods for microcirculatory evaluation. The current knowledge on the clinical relevance of microcirculatory alterations has been summarized based on previous studies in various clinical settings. In the latter part, pharmacological and clinical interventions to improve or restore microcirculation are also presented.

Abstract
Objective Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) on admission is a prognostic factor in cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the prognostic value of the RDW measured within 24 hours before discharge (24h dRDW) on 1-year all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and compared the effect of 24h dRDW in anemia and non-anemia patients. Materials and Methods Altogether, 4088 patients with AMI were studied retrospectively. Data from the MIMIC-III database were collected and analyzed. The Kaplan–Meier method, Cox regression models, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis were used to assess the impact of 24h dRDW on all-cause mortality in AMI patients, and a stratified analysis was performed to investigate the prognostic value of 24h dRDW in anemia and non-anemia patients. Results Of the 4088 patients, there were 704 non-survivors (17.2%). The non-survivors had a higher RDW than the survivors (p<0.001). Cox regression analysis showed that 24h dRDW had a significant independent association with 1‐year all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with AMI (quintile 5 vs quintile 1, HR, 95% CI: 2.847, 2.014–4.023). The area under the ROC curve of 24h dRDW was 0.710 (95% CI, 0.689–0.730). In the stratified analysis, a significant prognostic value of 24h dRDW was found in anemia patients for 1-year all-cause mortality, but not in non-anemia patients. Conclusion Elevated 24h dRDW values are significantly associated with increased hazards of all‐cause mortality in critically ill patients with AMI. Significant prognostic value of 24h dRDW was found in AMI patients with anemia, but not in those without anemia.

Kidney Microcirculation as a Target for Innovative Therapies in AKI. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10184041. [PMID: 34575154 PMCID: PMC8471583 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10184041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious multifactorial conditions accompanied by the loss of function and damage. The renal microcirculation plays a crucial role in maintaining the kidney’s functional and structural integrity for oxygen and nutrient supply and waste product removal. However, alterations in microcirculation and oxygenation due to renal perfusion defects, hypoxia, renal tubular, and endothelial damage can result in AKI and the loss of renal function regardless of systemic hemodynamic changes. The unique structural organization of the renal microvasculature and the presence of autoregulation make it difficult to understand the mechanisms and the occurrence of AKI following disorders such as septic, hemorrhagic, or cardiogenic shock; ischemia/reperfusion; chronic heart failure; cardiorenal syndrome; and hemodilution. In this review, we describe the organization of microcirculation, autoregulation, and pathophysiological alterations leading to AKI. We then suggest innovative therapies focused on the protection of the renal microcirculation and oxygenation to prevent AKI.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To discuss the use of vasopressors and inotropes in cardiogenic shock. RECENT FINDINGS The classic form or cardiogenic shock requires administration of inotropic and/or vasopressor agents to try to improve the impaired tissue perfusion. Among vasopressors various alpha-adrenergic agents, vasopressin derivatives and angiotensin can be used. The first-line therapy remains norepinephrine as it is associated with minimal adverse effects and appears to be associated by the best outcome in network meta-analyses. On the contrary, epinephrine is associated with an increased incidence of refractory shock and observational studies suggest an increased risk of death. Vasopressin may be an excellent alternative in tachycardiac patients or in the presence of pulmonary hypertension. Concerning inotropic agents, dobutamine is the first-line agent but levosimendan is an excellent alternative or additional agent in cases not responding to dobutamine. The impact on outcome of inotropic agents remains controversial. SUMMARY Recent studies have refined the position of the various vasopressor and inotropic agents. Norepinephrine is recommended as first-line vasopressor agent by various guidelines. Among inotropic agents, selection between the agents should be individualized and based on the hemodynamic response.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We describe the pathophysiology of cardiogenic shock (CS), from the main pathways to the inflammatory mechanisms and the proteomic features. RECENT FINDINGS Although the classical pathophysiological pathways underlying CS, namely reduced organ perfusion due to inadequate cardiac output and peripheral vasoconstriction, have been well-established for a long time, the role of macro-and micro-hemodynamics in the magnitude of the disease and its prognosis has been investigated extensively only over the last few years. Moreover, to complete the complex picture of CS pathophysiology, the study of cytokine cascade, inflammation, and proteomic analysis has been addressed recently. SUMMARY Understanding the pathophysiology of CS is important to treat it optimally.

Elevated Venous to Arterial Carbon Dioxide Gap and Anion Gap Are Associated with Poor Outcome in Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support. ASAIO J 2021; 67:263-269. [PMID: 33627599 DOI: 10.1097/mat.0000000000001215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Optimal management of cardiogenic shock requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is still an evolving area in which assessment and optimization of the microcirculation may be critically important. We hypothesized that the venous arterial carbon dioxide gap (P(v-a)CO2 gap); the ratio of this gap to arterio-venous oxygen content (P(v-a)CO2/C(a-v)O2 ratio) and the anion gap would be early indicators of microcirculatory status and useful parameters for outcome prediction during ECMO support. We retrospectively reviewed 31 cardiogenic shock patients requiring veno-arterial ECMO, calculating P(v-a)CO2 gap and P(v-a)CO2/C(a-v)O2 ratios in the first 36 hours and the final 24 hours of ECMO support. Sixteen patients (52%) survived and 15 (48%) died. After 24 hours of ECMO support, the P(v-a)CO2 gap (4.9 ± 1.5 vs. 6.8 ± 1.9 mm Hg; p = 0.004) and anion gap (5.2 ± 1.8 vs. 8.7 ± 2.7 mmol/L; p < 0.001) were significantly higher in non-survivors. In the final 24 hours of ECMO support, the P(v-a)CO2 gap (3.5 ± 1.6 vs. 10.5 ± 3.2 mm Hg; p < 0.001), P(v-a)CO2/C(a-v)O2 ratio (1.1 ± 0.5 vs. 2.7 ± 1.0; p < 0.001), anion gap (5.1 ± 3.0 vs. 9.3 ± 5.9 mmol/L; p = 0.02), and lactate (median 1.0 [interquartile range {IQR}: 0.7-1.5] vs. 2.8 [IQR: 1.7-7.7] mmol/L; p = <0.001) were all significantly lower in survivors. Increasing P(v-a)CO2 gap and increasing anion gap were significantly associated with increased risk of mortality. Optimum cut-points for prediction of mortality were 6 mm Hg for P(v-a)CO2 gap in combination with an anion gap above 6 mmol/L in the first 24 hours of ECMO in patients with cardiogenic shock requiring ECMO.

Abstract
Myocarditis is an inflammatory condition of the myocardium and is usually categorised as acute nonfulminant and acute fulminant myocarditis. Myocardial injury can result via viral infections, direct injury or immune responses. Fulminant myocarditis can be characterised by severe and sudden cardiac inflammation that may result from cardiogenic shock, ventricular arrhythmias or multi-organ system failure. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), also known as extracorporeal life support, is an effective technique for patients with fulminant myocarditis, providing heart and lung support and adequate gas exchange or perfusion to sustain life. Essentially, ECMO pumps blood out of the body to an oxygenator that acts as an artificial lung, which adds oxygen to the blood and removes carbon dioxide. This report aims to review recent advances in ECMO and relate case studies of fulminant myocarditis patients. The types of ECMO, predictive factors for success, clinical studies and recent technological advances in the field will be discussed.

The Reproducibility of the Point of Care Microcirculation (POEM) Score When Used to Assess Critically Ill Patients: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study. Shock 2021; 54:15-20.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current standard of analyzing microcirculatory video microscopy is time-consuming and occurs away from the patient, limiting its clinical utility. Point-of-care assessment with incident dark field (IDF) microscopy, however, may offer greater clinical applicability. We aimed to determine the reproducibility of the Point of Care Microcirculation (POEM) tool when used at the bedside in critically ill patients. METHODS A multinational, multicenter, prospective observational study of adult intubated patients was undertaken during a 9-month period in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. A user recorded a batch of four standardized video clips from each patient, calculated a POEM score and recorded the time for image acquisition. A second user blinded to the first repeated this process. Patients with video clips of poor quality were excluded. At a later date, the two users again blinded themselves to reassess both their own clips and those of the other user. Basic demographic information was recorded. Intrauser reliability (an individual user rescoring the same batch of videos after blinding), interuser reliability (a second user rescoring the other user's video batch after blinding), and test-retest reliability (two users individually capturing videos and recording POEM scores) were assessed using a linearly weighted kappa statistic for ordinal data. RESULTS Sixty-five patients were included in the final analysis. Observer agreement was substantial for all tests. Intrauser agreement was 0.73 (0.95 CI 0.64-0.81), interuser agreement 0.71 (0.95 CI 0.63-0.79), and test-retest agreement 0.75 (0.95 CI 0.65-0.86). Average time to record videos and assess POEM scores 7:34 ± 3:37 minutes. CONCLUSIONS Point-of-care assessment of the microcirculation using IDF video microscopy and POEM scoring appears to be both a feasible and reproducible approach to microcirculatory assessment. Testing of the score in critically ill patients showed substantial agreement within and between investigators, but further studies should validate its utility as a tool to guide shock resuscitation.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is incompletely understood. A sympathetic overdrive with coronary microvascular dysfunction might play a central role. The aim of our study was to assess the status of the systemic microcirculation (MC) of patients with TTS, compared to patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and healthy subjects. The systemic microvascular function of 22 TTS patients, 20 patients with MI and 20 healthy subjects was assessed via sublingual sidestream dark-field imaging. In TTS and MI patients, measurements were performed during the acute phase (day 1, 3 and 5) and after 3 months. The measurement in healthy subjects was performed once. The assessed parameters were number of vessel crossings, number of perfused vessel crossings, proportion of perfused vessels, total vessel density and perfused vessel density. The results did not show relevant differences between the investigated groups. Some minor, albeit statistically significant, differences occurred rather randomly. The MC parameters of the TTS group did not show any relevant changes in the temporal course. A systemic microvascular dysfunction could not be identified as a contributing factor in the pathogenesis of TTS. A possible microvascular dysfunction might instead be caused by a local effect restricted to the coronary microvascular bed.

Abstract
The goal of resuscitative fluid therapy is to rapidly expand circulating blood volume in order to restore tissue perfusion. Although this therapy often serves to improve macrohemodynamic parameters, it can be associated with adverse effects on the microcirculation and endothelium. The endothelial surface layer (ESL) provides a protective barrier over the endothelium and is important for regulating transvascular fluid movement, vasomotor tone, coagulation, and inflammation. Shedding or thinning of the ESL can promote interstitial edema and inflammation and may cause microcirculatory dysfunction. The pathophysiologic perturbations of critical illness and rapid, large-volume fluid therapy both cause shedding or thinning of the ESL. Research suggests that restricting the volume of crystalloid, or “clear” fluid, may preserve some ESL integrity and improve outcome based on animal experimental models and preliminary clinical trials in people. This narrative review critically evaluates the evidence for the detrimental effects of resuscitative fluid therapy on the ESL and provides suggestions for future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Objective: Many tissues contained resident mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) that facilitated tissue hemostasis and repair. However, there is no typical marker to identify the resident cardiac MSCs. We aimed to determine if CD51 could be an optimal marker of cardiac MSCs and assess their therapeutic potential for mice with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Cardiac-derived CD51+CD31–CD45–Ter119– cells (named CD51+cMSCs) were isolated from C57BL/6 mice(7-day-old) by flow cytometry. The CD51+cMSCs were characterized by proliferation capacity, multi-differentiation potential, and expression of typical MSC-related markers. Adult C57BL/6 mice (12-week-old) were utilized for an AMI model via permanently ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. The therapeutic efficacy of CD51+cMSCs was estimated by echocardiography and pathological staining. To determine the underlying mechanism, lentiviruses were utilized to knock down gene (stem cell factor [SCF]) expression of CD51+cMSCs. Results: In this study, CD51 was expressed in the entire layers of the cardiac wall in mice, including endocardium, epicardium, and myocardium, and its expression was decreased with age. Importantly, the CD51+cMSCs possessed potent self-renewal potential and multi-lineage differentiation capacity in vitro and also expressed typical MSC-related surface proteins. Furthermore, CD51+cMSC transplantation significantly improved cardiac function and attenuated cardiac fibrosis through pro-angiogenesis activity after myocardial infarction in mice. Moreover, SCF secreted by CD51+cMSCs played an important role in angiogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions: Collectively, CD51 is a novel marker of cardiac resident MSCs, and CD51+cMSC therapy enhances cardiac repair at least partly through SCF-mediated angiogenesis.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a clinical entity that includes a wide spectrum of different scenarios. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) plays a fundamental role in the contemporary treatment of CS, and device selection is a key element in determining optimal treatment in this complex population. Cardiac support with mechanical devices should allow reduction and complete weaning from inotropes. Persistence of elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures, pulmonary congestion, metabolic decompensation, and end-organ damage during current MCS are criteria for MCS escalation. Precise diagnosis of the underlying cause of right ventricular (RV) failure is fundamental for undertaking the correct escalation strategy. In the setting of both MCS escalation and de-escalation, it is important to select a strategy in relation to long-term perspectives (bridge-to-recovery, bridge-to-LV assist device, or bridge-to-heart transplantation). Small retrospective studies have demonstrated that the BiPella approach is feasible, reduces cardiac filling pressures and improves cardiac output across a range of causes of CS. Simultaneous LV and RV device implantation and lower RV afterload may be associated with better outcomes in biventricular CS, but prospective studies are still required.

Abstract
Traditionally thought of primarily as the predominant regulator of myocardial perfusion, it is becoming more accepted that the human coronary microvasculature also exerts a more direct influence on the surrounding myocardium. Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) not only precedes large artery atherosclerosis, but is associated with other cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is also highly predictive of cardiovascular events in patients with or without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This review focuses on this recent paradigm shift and delves into the clinical consequences of CMD. Concepts of how resistance arterioles contribute to disease will be discussed, highlighting how the microvasculature may serve as a potential target for novel therapies and interventions. Finally, both invasive and non-invasive methods with which to assess the coronary microvasculature both for diagnostic and risk stratification purposes will be reviewed.

Abstract
The use of mechanical circulatory support for patients presenting with cardiogenic shock is rapidly increasing. Currently, there is only limited and conflicting evidence available regarding the role of the Impella (a microaxial, continuous-flow, short-term, left or right ventricular assist device) in cardiogenic shock; further randomized trials are needed. Patient selection, timing of implantation, and post-implantation management in the cardiac intensive care unit are crucial elements for success. Particular challenges at the bedside include the practical management of anticoagulation, evaluation of correct device position, and the approach to use in a patient with signs of insufficient hemodynamic support. Profound knowledge of these issues is required to enable the maximal potential of the device. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the short-term assist device and describes a practical approach to optimize care for patients supported with the device.

Decreased peripheral perfusion measured by perfusion index is a novel indicator for cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes and established cardiovascular disease. Sci Rep 2021; 11:2135. [PMID: 33483575 PMCID: PMC7822843 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-81702-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the major cause of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Despite of recent therapies, mortality and resources spent on healthcare due to CVD is still important problem. Thus, appropriate markers are needed to predict poor outcomes. Therefore, we investigated the role of peripheral perfusion as an indicator for cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes and established CVD. This retrospective cohort study included 1080 patients with type 2 diabetes and history of CVD recruited from the outpatient clinic at Matsushita Memorial Hospital in Osaka, Japan. Peripheral perfusion is assessed using the perfusion index (PI), which represents the level of circulation through peripheral tissues. The median age and PI values were 74 years (range: 67-79 years) and 2.6% (range: 1.1-4.3%), respectively. During follow-up duration, 60 patients died due to CVD. The adjusted Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the risk of developing cardiovascular death was higher in the first quartile (Hazard ratio, 6.23; 95% CI, 2.28 to 22.12) or second quartile (Hazard ratio, 3.04; 95% CI, 1.46 to 6.85) of PI than that in the highest quartile (fourth quartile) of PI. PI (per 1% decrease) was associated with the development of cardiovascular death (Hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.16 to 1.68). PI could be a novel indicator of cardiovascular death in patients with type 2 diabetes and established CVD.

Abstract
There has been considerable development in the field of noninvasive hemodynamic monitoring in recent years. Multiple devices have been proposed to assess blood pressure, cardiac output, and tissue perfusion. All have their own advantages and disadvantages and selection should be based on individual patient requirements and disease severity and adjusted according to ongoing patient evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Dehydration occurs frequently in older patients and constitutes a significant clinical problem. OBJECTIVE: This proof-of-concept study examines whether 1) sublingual measurement in dehydrated old patients is feasible, 2) frailty and incompliance in old, awake patients affects video-quality, 3) dehydration impacts microcirculation METHODS: This prospective observational study included clinically dehydrated patients aged ≥65 years immediately after admission. Dehydration was assessed clinically. A sidestream dark field camera (SDF) was used for measurement. Video-quality was evaluated with MIQS (microcirculation image quality score). Both AVA 4.3C- and AVA POEM-software analyzed the videos. Seventeen patients ≥65 years not showing dehydration served as control. RESULTS: Thirteen patients (8 female) were included. The average age was 83±8 years. The mini-mental test was 17±15 points, the Clinical Frailty Scale 4±3, the Barthel-Index 59±39. None of these parameters correlated with MIQS (3.4±4.2 SD (“acceptable”)). Dehydrated patients had a slightly impaired microcirculation, with a significantly lower percentage of perfused small vessels compared to control (83.1±7.7% versus 88.0±6.0%, P < 0.05). After rehydration, there was acute improvement in the microcirculation. CONCLUSIONS: Sublingual microcirculatory SDF-measurement is both, safe and valid for dehydrated old patients - regardless of frailty, age or cognitive performance. Dehydration leads to an impaired microcirculation.

Mechanical circulatory support in refractory cardiogenic shock due to influenza virus-related myocarditis. Eur Respir J 2020; 56:13993003.00925-2020. [PMID: 32398305 PMCID: PMC7469974 DOI: 10.1183/13993003.00925-2020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2020] [Accepted: 05/01/2020] [Indexed: 01/08/2023]
Abstract
Background There is scarce evidence for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with influenza-related myocarditis complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock (rCS). We sought to investigate the impact of MCS using combined veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and micro-axial flow pumps (the ECMELLA concept) in influenza-related myocarditis complicated by rCS. Methods This is a prospective, observational analysis from the single centre HAnnover Cardiac Unloading REgistry (HACURE) from two recent epidemic influenza seasons. We analysed patients with verified influenza-associated myocarditis complicated by rCS who were admitted to our intensive care unit (ICU) on MCS. Subsequently, we performed a propensity score (PS) matched analysis to patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by rCS and non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (DCM) related rCS. Results We describe a series of seven patients with rCS-complicated influenza-related myocarditis (mean age 56±10 years, 58% male, influenza A (n=2)/influenza B (n=5)). No patient had been vaccinated prior to the influenza season. MCS was provided using combined VA-ECMO and Impella micro-axial flow pump. In two patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, VA-ECMO had been implanted for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. All patients died within 18 days of hospital admission. By PS-based comparison to patients with AMI- or DCM-related rCS and combined MCS, 30-day mortality was significantly higher in influenza-related rCS. Conclusion Despite initial stabilisation with combined MCS in patients with rCS-complicated influenza-related myocarditis, the detrimental course of shock could not be stopped and all patients died. Influenza virus infection potentially critically affects other organs besides the heart, leading to irreversible end-organ damage that MCS cannot compensate for and, therefore, results in a devastating outcome. Combined mechanical circulatory support in refractory cardiogenic shock (ECMELLA) might not salvage patients with influenza-associated myocarditis and severe end-organ damage, in contrast to the favourable effects in primary cardiac causeshttps://bit.ly/3dmonC4

Abstract
In the microcirculation, the exchange of nutrients, water, gas, hormones, and waste takes place, and it is divided into the three main sections arterioles, capillaries, and venules. Disturbances in the microcirculation can be measured using surrogate parameters or be visualized either indirectly or directly.Arginase is a manganese metalloenzyme hydrolyzing L-arginine to urea and L-ornithine. It is located in different cell types, including vascular cells, but also in circulating cells such as red blood cells. A variety of pro-inflammatory factors, as well as interleukins, stimulate increased arginase expression. An increase in arginase activity consequently leads to a consumption of L-arginine needed for nitric oxide (NO) production by endothelial NO synthase. A vast body of evidence convincingly showed that increased arginase activity is associated with endothelial dysfunction in larger vessels of the vascular tree. Of note, arginase also influences the microcirculation. Arginase inhibition leads to an increase in the bioavailability of NO and reduces superoxide levels, resulting in improved endothelial function. Arginase inhibition might, therefore, be a potent treatment strategy in cardiovascular medicine. Recently, red blood cells emerged as an influential player in the development from increased arginase activity to endothelial dysfunction. As red blood cells directly interact with the microcirculation in gas exchange, this could constitute a potential link between arginase activity, endothelial dysfunction and microcirculatory disturbances.The aim of this review is to summarize recent findings revealing the role of arginase in regulating vascular function with particular emphasis on the microcirculation.

Abstract
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is an effective mechanical circulatory support modality that rapidly restores systemic perfusion for circulatory failure in patients. Given the huge increase in VA-ECMO use, its optimal management depends on continuous and discrete hemodynamic monitoring. This article provides an overview of VA-ECMO pathophysiology, and the current state of the art in hemodynamic monitoring in patients with VA-ECMO.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Diabetic kidney disease has been considered as an important risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Chronic hypoxia is considered to be the main cause of renal injury. Diminished microcirculatory blood flow could be associated with hypoxia in the kidney. Whether diminished microcirculation is associated with diabetic kidney disease has not yet been reported. Here, we investigated the correlation between microcirculatory function and diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our cross-sectional study included 574 patients who were admitted to Matsushita Memorial Hospital in Moriguchi, Japan, for type 2 diabetes. Microcirculatory function was assessed using the perfusion index (PI), which represents the level of circulation through peripheral tissues. We measured the PI for all patients. RESULTS The median age and PI values were 70 years (range 60-77 years) and 2.8% (range 1.6-4.8%). Multiple regression analyses showed that the PI independently correlated with the logarithm of urinary albumin excretion (P = 0.009) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (P = 0.005), respectively. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that patients with systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than the median and PI less than or equal to the median (high-low group) had a significantly increased odds of albuminuria compared with those with SBP less than or equal to the median and PI greater than the median (low-high group), and patients with SBP greater than the median and PI less than or equal to the median (high-low group) had a significantly increased odds of estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 compared with those with SBP less than or equal to the median and PI greater than the median (low-high group) or SBP greater than the median and PI greater than the median (high-high group). CONCLUSIONS PI could be a novel indicator of diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Aims The aim of this study is to evaluate the contemporary use of a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) in acute myocardial infarction‐cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS). Methods and results A retrospective cohort of AMI‐CS admissions using the National Inpatient Sample (2000–2014) was identified. Admissions with concomitant cardiac surgery or non‐AMI aetiology for cardiogenic shock were excluded. The outcomes of interest were in‐hospital mortality, resource utilization, and temporal trends in cohorts with and without PAC use. In the non‐PAC cohort, the use and outcomes of right heart catheterization was evaluated. Multivariable regression and propensity matching was used to adjust for confounding. During 2000–2014, 364 001 admissions with AMI‐CS were included. PAC was used in 8.1% with a 75% decrease during over the study period (13.9% to 5.4%). Greater proportion of admissions to urban teaching hospitals received PACs (9.5%) compared with urban non‐teaching (7.1%) and rural hospitals (5.4%); P < 0.001. Younger age, male sex, white race, higher comorbidity, noncardiac organ failure, use of mechanical circulatory support, and noncardiac support were independent predictors of PAC use. The PAC cohort had higher in‐hospital mortality (adjusted odds ratio 1.07 [95% confidence interval 1.04–1.10]), longer length of stay (10.9 ± 10.9 vs. 8.2 ± 9.3 days), higher hospitalization costs ($128 247 ± 138 181 vs. $96 509 ± 116 060), and lesser discharges to home (36.3% vs. 46.4%) (all P < 0.001). In 6200 propensity‐matched pairs, in‐hospital mortality was comparable between the two cohorts (odds ratio 1.01 [95% confidence interval 0.94–1.08]). Right heart catheterization was used in 12.5% of non‐PAC admissions and was a marker of greater severity but did not indicate worse outcomes. Conclusions In AMI‐CS, there was a 75% decrease in PAC use between 2000 and 2014. Admissions receiving a PAC were a higher risk cohort with worse clinical outcomes.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Adequate tissue perfusion is of utmost importance to avoid organ failure in patients with cardiogenic shock. Within the recent years, the microcirculation, defined as the perfusion of the smallest vessels, has been identified to play a crucial role. Microcirculatory changes may include capillary flow disturbances as well as changes in the density of perfused vessels. Due to the availability of new technologies to assess the microcirculation, interesting new data came up and it is the purpose of this review to summarize recent studies in the field. RECENT FINDINGS Nowadays, an increasing number of studies confirm parameters of the microcirculation, derived by intravital microscopy, to represent strong outcome predictors in cardiogenic shock. In addition, microcirculation as read-out parameter in innovative clinical studies has meanwhile been accepted as serious endpoint. Treatment strategies such as mechanical assist devices, blood pressure regulating agents or fluids use tissue perfusion and microcirculatory network density as targets in addition to clinical perfusion evaluation and decreasing serum lactate levels. SUMMARY The parameter most frequently used to detect tissue malperfusion is serum lactate. Novel, noninvasive methods to quantify microvascular perfusion have the potential to guide treatment in terms of optimizing organ perfusion and oxygenation probably paving the way for an individualized therapy.
