This review highlights the potential of pulse index continuous cardiac output monitoring as a minimally invasive tool for dynamic hemodynamic assessment to optimize therapeutic decision-making in AMICS.
Supports PiCCO integration into AMICS protocols for real-time guidance; extends guideline evidence on minimally invasive hemodynamic monitoring.
Acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMICS) remains one of the most challenging and life-threatening conditions encountered in cardiovascular medicine. The substantial advances in coronary revascularization strategies, mechanical circulatory support, and guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure have not lowered the high mortality rate associated with AMICS. Accurate, timely, and dynamic hemodynamic monitoring is, therefore, pivotal to optimizing therapeutic decision-making and improving clinical outcomes. Pulse index continuous cardiac output monitoring is a minimally invasive technique that enables continuous, comprehensive, and precise assessment of hemodynamic parameters, with significant potential for managing AMICS. This review summarizes the principles, key parameters, current evidence, limitations, and future perspectives of pulse index continuous cardiac output monitoring in AMICS, providing additional insights to inform clinical practice.
