In this episode, Drs. Jenna Skowronski, Francesco Castagna and Saraschandra Vallabhajosyula unpack how assumptions drawn from ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) data may be leading us astray in broader shock management—and what that means for patient outcomes, clinical decision-making, and future research. Why do we keep applying STEMI solutions to non-STEMI problems? Are we oversimplifying cardiogenic shock? And what does the real-world data actually tell us? 

 

Join us for a candid, fast-paced conversation that challenges dogma, calls for nuance, and might just change the way you approach shock.
