Nonocclusive Mesenteric Ischemia in Cardiogenic Shock: Mechanisms of Splanchnic Hypoperfusion and Strategies for Early Detection

Nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is an underappreciated and lethal sequelae of cardiogenic shock (CS), forming the bulk of acute mesenteric ischemia in critically ill patients. In the setting of CS, reduced cardiac output, exposure to high doses of vasopressors, and nonpulsatile mechanical ci
