Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The outstanding development of critical care in recent decades has led to improved patient outcomes and reduced mortality. The multidisciplinary care of critically ill patients is an integral part of every modern healthcare system, ensuring improved outcomes, which are guaranteed by the prompt development of diverse diagnostic and therapeutic modalities and supported by the continuous education of health workers. Faster and easier access to care, the early recognition of life-threatening medical conditions and complications, and organized emergency care all contribute to treatment strategy for patients with cardiac pathology. Furthermore, the fast development of technologies and continuous research in the field of critical care in modern cariology requires the wide dissemination of information to clinicians.

This Special Issue on “Critical Care in Modern Cardiology” welcomes the submission of work on the most recent developments and challenges in diagnosis and therapy related to advances in experimental and clinical cardiology, surgery, anesthesia, and intensive care research and practice, addressing innovative therapeutic and diagnostic strategies in the care of cardiac patients. We invite all researchers from relevant disciplines who focus on the care of critically ill patients to submit original articles or reviews in their area of expertise, enhancing the multidisciplinarity of modern health care.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) during the peripartum period is a relevant cause of morbidity in this population; its clinical course and prognosis, compared to the general TTS population, is yet to be elucidated. Our aim was to analyze the clinical features and prognosis of peripartum TTS in a nationwide prospective specifically oriented registry database and consider the published literature. Peripartum TTS patients from the prospective nationwide RETAKO registry—as well as peripartum TTS patients from the published literature—were included, and multiple comparisons between groups were performed in order to assess for statistically and clinically relevant prognostic differences between the groups. Patients with peripartum TTS exhibit a higher prevalence of secondary forms, dyspnea, atypical symptoms, and echocardiographic patterns, as well as less ST-segment elevation than the general TTS population. In the literature, patients with peripartum TTS had a higher Killip status on admission. TTS during the peripartum period has a higher prevalence of angina and dyspnea, as well as physical triggers, neither of which are related to a worse prognosis. Killip status on admission was higher in the literature for patients with TTS but with excellent mid- and long-term prognoses after the acute phase, despite mostly being secondary forms. Full article

Septic shock management in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) is challenging due to the complex interaction of pathophysiology between vasodilatory and cardiogenic shock, complicating how to optimally deploy fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, and mechanical circulatory support devices. Because mixed shock portends high mortality and morbidity, familiarity with quality, contemporary clinical evidence surrounding available therapeutic tools is needed to address the resultant wide range of complications that can arise. This review integrates pathophysiology principles and clinical recommendations to provide an organized, topic-based review of the nuanced intricacies of managing sepsis in the CICU. Full article

Title: Modern post resuscitation care for cardiac arrest patients in cardiology
Authors: Andreas Schäfer; Carolina Sanchez Martinez; Johann Bauersachs; Muharrem Akin
Affiliation: Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH), Hannover, Germany
Abstract: After almost 2 decades of escalating therapeutic algorithms for survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest including early coronary angiography and therapeutic hypothermia, data from more recent randomized controlled trials have questioned that approach and let to severe uncertainty about the extent of post-resuscitation care. This review article will focus on the setup of dedicated cardiac arrest centers including structural and educational demands, the direct admission to specialized centers, and optimal intra-hospital diagnostic and therapeutic strategies as well as discuss the need for targeted temperature management.
