Arrhythmias in cardiogenic shock.
Arrhythmias can be the primary cause of CS or they can appear later as a secondary complication. Bail-out catheter ablation in patients on MCS is an option that should be considered when the heart rhythm disorder is causing a significant hemodynamic compromise and is resistant to other treatment modalities. Abbreviations: CS – cardiogenic shock, ggl. – ganglion, MCS – mechanical circulatory support, SVT – supraventricular tachycardia, VT – ventricular tachycardia. (Created in BioRender. Dusik, M.
