  5. Building a Team of Teams

    IHVI's Critical Care Team IHVI’s 48-bed intensive care unit, divided equally between cardiac ICU (CICU) and cardiovascular ICU (CVICU), serves some of the region’s sickest patients. Over the last three years, IHVI’s critical care team has expanded its scope to meet the needs of the region, and its case-mix index has increased 3 to 3.5 times during that period. Over the last 18 months, in addition to caring for critically ill cardiac patients, the teams in CICU and CVICU have risen to the challenge of providing advanced life support for patients who are critically ill with COVID-19.
  6. Cardiogenic Shock Program Continues to Achieve Outstanding Results

    Behnam Tehrani, MD Co-Director, Cardiogenic Shock Program, IHVI Co-Director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratories, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus Alexander Truesdell, MD Co-Director, Cardiogenic Shock Program Cardiogenic shock has long been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. It was not until the landmark SHOCK trial in 1999 that survival increased from 20 percent to 50 percent through early revascularization. Since then, however, no further improvements in short-term outcomes have been realized.
