Most clinicians have heard of the Austin Flint murmur.
Far fewer have actually heard one.
A classic Austin Flint murmur recorded over the apex in a patient with severe AR from Bartonella endocarditis.

🫀Valvular cardiogenic shock is probably one of the most underrecognized phenotypes of shock in modern cardiac critical care.
What makes this paper particularly important is that it reframes severe valve disease:
not as chronic structural cardiology, but as acute hemodynamic catastrophe.
The physiology is brutal.
Unlike classic ischemic CS, VCS often combines:
🫀 abrupt preload overload
🫀 severe afterload mismatch
🫀 elevated filling pressures
🫀 pulmonary edema
🫀 impaired forward flow
🫀 rapidly collapsing ventriculo arterial coupling
And unlike MI related shock: 📌 many of these patients still have relatively preserved LVEF.
Which means: normal or “acceptable” EF does NOT exclude severe shock physiology.
One of the most fascinating findings: 📌 the aortic valve was the most commonly involved valve.
Especially: • aortic stenosis • acute aortic regurgitation
And outcomes differed substantially by lesion type.
Patients with:
⚠️ stenotic lesions had the worst survival
⚠️ regurgitant lesions performed better
⚠️ mixed lesions remained intermediate
Severe AS in shock creates:
• fixed forward flow obstruction
• catecholamine inefficiency
• coronary hypoperfusion
• profound ventriculo arterial uncoupling
while acute regurgitant lesions may still preserve some forward stroke volume if rapidly corrected.
Another extremely important message:
📌 definitive intervention mattered enormously.
Compared to medical therapy alone:
• surgery had the best survival
• percutaneous therapies were intermediate
• medical management had the worst outcomes
After multivariable adjustment: medical management alone was associated with nearly 4 times higher hazard of death at 1 year.
But this study suggests: ⚡ definitive therapy may be the only real survival strategy.
The paper also highlights something increasingly relevant for modern CICUs:
📌 prosthetic valve dysfunction accounted for almost one third of VCS cases.
With aging populations and expanding TAVR/bioprosthetic use: this phenotype will likely increase dramatically over the next decade.
From a hemodynamic perspective, VCS may require:
🩺 earlier invasive monitoring
🩺 advanced echocardiography
🩺 rapid valve team activation
🩺 individualized MCS strategy
🩺 faster transfer to high volume structural centers
The study also indirectly supports something many intensivists already suspect:
📌 timing is probably everything.
Delayed recognition likely converts salvageable hemodynamic collapse into irreversible multiorgan failure.
This is where future research should probably focus:
• shock phenotyping by valve lesion
• optimal MCS selection
• VA coupling analysis
• transcatheter rescue timing
• CICU to structural heart pathways
• predictive models for intervention candidacy

هذا ديوان أفردته للغة القرآن الكريم، وسميته (ذات الجمال) والجمال نعت من نعوتها، لا يبصره إلا من دنا من أبوابها، وارتقى في أسبابها، وكشف عن حجابها، وذاق حلو رضابها.
ويشتمل الديوان على بيان فضل العلم والعربية، وشرفها، وشرف خدمتها، والثناء على من مد لها يدا، وأسدى إليها فضلا، وفيه الإشادة بما تشهده اللغة في المملكة من عناية ونهضة وتطور.
وقد أجزت الديوان من استجاز، وأهديته محبي العربية، ومن أحبها فقد فاز.
بعد ٤٨ عاماً من الخدمة اللامتناهية وبعد عديد من الإنجازات المشهود لها أودع مستشفى الملك فيصل التخصصي بالرياض والتي كانت منزلاً لي بعيداً عن منزلي.

Fontan Procedure #1: Fontan Circulation
👉Fontan circulation directs systemic venous return directly to the pulmonary arteries without a subpulmonary ventricle.
👉Pulmonary blood flow depends on low PVR and an adequate CVP–PAP pressure gradient.
👉Oxygenation improves, but the system may remain vulnerable to venous congestion and lymphatic failure.
VA-ECMO Strategy — Cannulation, Flow Direction, and LV Decompression📝
👉VA-ECMO physiology is defined not only by the cannulation site, but also by flow direction, ventricular loading, and systemic oxygen delivery.
👉Peripheral femoral VA-ECMO requires careful surveillance for retrograde aortic flow, watershed physiology, differential hypoxia, distal limb ischemia, and LV distension.
👉Central VA-ECMO with LA venting may provide more direct systemic support and effective left-heart decompression when peripheral support is flow-limited.

Ross Procedure — Long-term Follow-up⏳🧐
👉Autograft failure mainly involves neo-aortic root dilatation with progressive late AR.
👉RVOT homograft degeneration can lead to stenosis/regurgitation
