Pulmonary artery catheterization in acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock: A review of contemporary literature

Figure 3 Congestive profiles in cardiogenic shock. Clinical assessment of hemodynamic conditions in decompensated heart failure is traditionally categorized into four groups based on systemic perfusion and congestive status using a two-by-two table. Cardiogenic shock is categorized as having LV-, RV-, or BiV-dominant congestion or hypovolemia. Treatment approaches may be tailored to each of these four categories. BiV: Biventricular; CVP: Central venous pressure; LV: Left ventricular; PCWP: Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; RA: Right atrial; RV: Right ventricular. Citation: Esposito ML, Kapur NK.
