threatening cardiac events, our emergency department team is ready for you. You have access to our emergency

- Cardiogenic shock program
Cardiogenic shock is one of the most serious heart emergencies, happening when the heart suddenly can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs. Without quick treatment, it can lead to complications like abnormal heart rhythms, multi-organ failure, or even death.
Our cardiogenic shock program is designed to help your care team recognize the warning signs early and provide rapid, life-saving care. By using evidence-based protocols, our program ensures you receive prompt and effective treatment.
Our cardiogenic shock program offers:
- 24/7 cardiogenic shock team activation
- Advanced therapies, including extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), ventricular assist devices, and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)
- Bridge to recovery, long-term device, or transplant
- Rapid transfer pathways for critically ill patients
- Standardized protocols and expert, team-based care
By combining advanced technology with a highly trained, multidisciplinary team, our program gives you the best possible chance for recovery and life beyond cardiogenic shock.
