In Cardiogenic Shock, Age is Not Just a Number

In Cardiogenic Shock, Age is Not Just a Number Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a heterogenous disease process with varied clinical presentation, aetiology and severity. Owing to such heterogeneity, it is difficult to prognosticate patients in CS at their initial clinical encounter. While the Society of Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) stages of CS have been validated as a prognostic tool, they rely on several biomarkers and invasive haemodynamic variables t...
