• Some people's symptoms and heart function will improve with
proper treatment. However, heart failure can be life- threatening. People with heart failure may have severe symptoms, and some may require heart transplantation or support with a ventricular assist device. • The prognosis for heart failure is still relatively poor and is strongly associated with a higher mortality rate. PROGNOSIS
• Many factors that can be associated to increase mortality and
poor prognosis are demographic variables, etiology of heart failure, comorbidities, biomarkers of heart failure, and hemodynamic parameters CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
• Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death in acute
coronary infarction, with mortality rates reaching 70-90%. • The key to a good prognosis is diagnosis, prompt supportive therapy and coronary artery revascularization in patients with ischemia and myocardial infarction. • Prognosis will improve with faster time for reperfusion.
