Abstract:
Cardiovascular failure or shock is best defined as inadequate delivery or utilization of oxygen for cellular metabolic needs. The majority of shock states are characterized by limitations in perfusion rather than extraction of oxygen by tissues. It is important to recognize that ineffectual tissue perfusion may occur in the absence of hypotension and, therefore, a normal blood pressure does not exclude shock. This chapter covers the etiology of shock, as well as symptoms, complications, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Abstract:
Cardiovascular complications are the predominant cause of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The high incidence of cardiovascular complications results from pathology present before ESRD (generalized atherosclerosis, diabetes, hypertension) and an additive effect of multiple factors including haemodynamic overload and metabolic and endocrine abnormalities more or less specific to uraemia or its treatment modalities. These disorders are usually associated and can exacerbate each other. While ischaemic heart disease is a frequent cause of cardiac death, heart failure and sudd

Abstract:
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a relatively rare primary heart muscle disease with genetic or post-inflammatory aetiology that affects relatively young patients with a low-risk co-morbidity profile. Therefore, DCM represents a particular heart failure model with specific characteristics and long-term evolution. The progressively earlier diagnosis derived from systematic familial screening programmes and the current therapeutic strategies have greatly modified the prognosis of DCM with a dramatic reduction of mortality over recent decades. A significant number of DCM patients present an impres

Abstract:
Electrocution is a common source of morbidity and mortality, primarily affecting young children through accidents in the home and adults through occupational exposure. A familiarity with the basic principles of electrical physics helps elucidate the typical injuries sustained following electrical shock. Although death is a frequent result, patients successfully resuscitated following initial cardiopulmonary arrest often have a favourable prognosis. Survivors of electrocution may suffer injuries to a variety of organ systems, including the skin, cardiovascular system, and nervous system, and ar

The left atrium (LA) in a close interdependence with the left ventricle plays an essential role in the overall cardiovascular performance. The impact of LA remodelling on prognosis and risk stratification has gathered increasing evidence. With advances in imaging technology, the assessment of LA size and function become more accessible and precise. LA volume provides the most accurate estimate of LA size and superior prognostic information. Accounting for complex geometry and motion, three-dimensional echocardiography emerges as the preferred technique for the assessment of dynamic changes in

The overall stroke incidence is decreasing; however, an increase in the incidence of young stroke has been witnessed, possibly due to better awareness, new imaging techniques, and the increased prevalence of traditional risk factors already at a young age. Nevertheless, not all young stroke patients have cardiovascular risk factors. The proportion of patients with arterial dissection, cardioembolic stroke, an

Empyema can cause systemic sepsis, leading to cardiovascular instability and multi-organ failure. A malignant pleural effusion arises when malignant cells infiltrate the pleura, resulting in increased production and decreased lymphatic drainage of pleural fluid. Maligna
