Multimodality imaging in cardiogenic shock: state-of-the art
Key result
Multimodality imaging integrating echo, lung ultrasound, and abdominal Doppler may speed and refine cardiogenic shock phenotyping.
Why the study?
There is emerging evidence on the role of multimodality imaging in cardiogenic shock, requiring a review of the utility, pitfalls, limitations, and multiparametric integration of different imaging modalities.

Intervention
Multimodality imaging (echocardiography, lung ultrasound, Doppler evaluation of abdominal blood flow)
A physiopathological-driven approach using integrated ultrasound modalities on top of clinical and biochemical evaluation may aid in quicker and more detailed phenotyping of patients with cardiogenic shock.
Limitations
- Validation of the integrated approaches and single parameters are needed.
- Validation of the integrated approaches and single parameters are needed
