2998 dilated cardiomyopathy and mild to moderate chronic CHF often have EFs considerably lower than this and are not in shock. 12 These observations highlight the role of ventricular dilation to maintain stroke volume and peripheral vascular and neurohormonal adaptation in chronic CHF. However, an EF in the low 30s is not uncommon in uncomplicated patients with recent MI who do not have CHF. 13 The classic notion that acute reduction in CO leads to compensatory vasoconstriction was not confirmed in many patients in the SHOCK registry and trial (Menon et al14 and Hochman et al, unpublished data, 2002). SVR varied widely but on average was not elevated at 1350 to 1400 dyne· s· cm 5 despite vasopressor use. Cotter et al15, 16 categorized acute heart failure patients according to cardiac power and demonstrated its importance in risk stratification and selection of therapy. Cardiac power, the product of cardiac index and mean arterial pressure, is a useful prognostic indicator in chronic heart failure. 17 Acute heart failure patients with very high SVR and reduced CO have high cardiac power indices, in contrast to most shock patients, who have low cardiac power. In both the SHOCK trial and the SHOCK registry, cardiac power was the hemodynamic variable most strongly associated with mortality. 18 A small subset of patients in the SHOCK registry was clinically diagnosed with CS without hypotension, based on systemic hypoperfusion, low CO, and elevated ventricular filling pressures. In these patients, blood pressure was maintained by elevated SVR. 14 Their in-hospital mortality rate (although high at 43%) was lower than the rate of those patients with classic hypotensive shock (66%), despite the 2 groups having the same LVEF (34%), cardiac index (1.9 L/min per m2), and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (25 mm Hg). The ability to vasoconstrict vascular beds that supply nonvital organs is an important compensatory response to a reduction in CO. Vasodilators (endogenous and exogenous) interfere with this critical response, which is needed to maintain flow to the cerebral and coronary circulations. Cardiac power is also prognostically important because it reflects myocardial reserve adequate to generate flow, albeit reduced, in the face of high resistance. A clinically overt systemic inflammatory response syndrome as evidenced by fever, elevated white blood cell count, and low SVR, was observed in many patients with confirmed shock complicating acute MI in the randomized SHOCK trial. These findings often led to a secondary clinical diagnosis of suspected sepsis. However, the low SVR despite vasopressors was documented at shock onset, days before sepsis was suspected. 19 The classic notion that CS develops when 40% of the LV is irreversibly damaged is inconsistent with the following observations:(1) survival of 50% of patients who undergo early revascularization,(2) evidence of improved EF in some patients following revascularization, 11 and
