Acute Heart Failure Treatment and Brain Protection

Abstract

Brain damage and heart failure may coexist if terminal heart failure or arrhythmias induce cerebral hypoperfusion. Another frequent situation of heart failure-induced brain damage is represented by cardiac arrest, which remains a major public health problem and a leading cause of death. Cardiac arrest either occurs during the course of a known cardiopathy or suddenly reveals an unknown underlying cardiac disease. Following refractory shock or multiorgan failure, and after experiencing cardiac arrest, irreversible brain damages remain the major cause of death. Thus, several therapies are commonly used to reduce brain injuries, including hypothermia, which remains to date the most convincing treatment for brain protection.
