Key result

This editorial introduces a Special Issue on cardiovascular diseases in the critically ill, highlighting the need for multidisciplinary collaboration and standardized phenotyping.

Key Points

To synthesize emerging clinical evidence and identify research priorities at the intersection of cardiology and intensive care medicine.
Narrative synthesis of recent clinical trials, clinical guidance frameworks, and contributions to a dedicated cardiovascular critical care journal collection.
Evaluation of diagnostic standards, risk stratification methods, mechanical circulatory support trials, and anticoagulation challenges in critically ill cohorts.
Diagnostic overlap among acute coronary syndromes, type 2 myocardial infarction, septic cardiomyopathy, and stress myocarditis frequently complicates troponin interpretation in intensive care units.
Routine early venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation showed no mortality benefit in the ECLS-SHOCK trial, while extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation demonstrated divergent efficacy between highly selected and broad cardiac arrest populations.
Clinical outcomes are largely dictated by non-cardiac organ failures, patient frailty, and mechanical support complications, underscoring the need for ICU-specific trials with functional survivorship endpoints.
