The Usage of Concomitant Beta-Blockers with Vasopressors and Inotropes in Cardiogenic Shock
Vasopressors and inotropes (Vs/Is) are widely used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS). Despite improvements in hemodynamic variables and end-organ perfusion, these agents have been associated with an increase in mortality, potentially due to the increased risk of tachyarrhythmias—which we hy...

description | Vasopressors and inotropes (Vs/Is) are widely used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS). Despite improvements in hemodynamic variables and end-organ perfusion, these agents have been associated with an increase in mortality, potentially due to the increased risk of tachyarrhythmias—which we hypothesize may be mitigated by beta-blockers (BBs). We conducted a retrospective chart review of patients who received a V/I (dobutamine, milrinone, dopamine, and norepinephrine) for CS. The primary objective was to assess the effect of BB in patients receiving Vs/Is for CS. In our final analysis of 227 patients, those in the BB group were younger, were more likely to have acute coronary syndrome as the reason for admission, had more reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, were more likely to have coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation as pre-existing co-morbidities, and had a lower rate of in-hospital mortality. Nevertheless, in our multivariable logistic regression analysis, concurrent BB usage with a V/I was not associated with a reduction in in-hospital mortality. Our present study sheds light on the importance and urgency of large, carefully designed clinical studies to optimize inpatient medical therapy, particularly evaluating the combination of V/I and BB, in this high-risk patient population. |
