Despite significant investment of time, money and resources, there has been little progress in improving the survival of patients with cardiogenic shock, and some improvement in septic shock outcomes with bundles of care but large gaps remain. The lecture will explore whether there are common mechanisms underlying many kinds of shock, which coincide regardless if the initial insult is myocardial injury or infectious in nature. Exploration of the common linkages between states of severe shock are crucial to setting research agendas and ultimately leading to substantive progress in the field.
