Fig. 3From: Microcirculatory dysfunction in cardiogenic shockSchematic time course of macro- and microcirculatory dysfunction in cardiogenic shock (adapted from Chioncel et al., 2020). While macrocirculatory dysfunction seems to predominate initially during CS, the microcirculation becomes progressively dysfunctional in a second phase. This can ultimately lead to a loss of hemodynamic coherence. MODS multiple organ dysfunction syndromeBack to article page
