Glycemic Patterns and Impact of Early Hyperglycemia in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock on Mechanical Circulatory Support.

A significant proportion of patients with CS on MCS manifest early hyperglycemia regardless of diabetic status. The presence of early hyperglycemia in these patients acted predominantly as a surrogate of the underlying shock severity and was associated with worse short-term outcomes. Future studies should assess whether strategies to optimize the glycemic control in this high-risk cohort can independently improve clinical outcomes.
