About this episode
Step into the high-stakes world of cardiogenic shock in this powerful episode recorded on Day 1 of the ICS State of the Art 2025 meeting in Birmingham.
In the session "From Shock to Survival: Innovations and Advances in Cardiogenic Shock Treatment", Jonny sits down with three outstanding guests: Professor Susanna Price, consultant cardiologist and intensivist at Royal Brompton Hospital and a leading expert in cardiogenic shock; Dr Nicholas Barrett from Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, who brought deep expertise in advanced cardiac support and critical care; and the truly inspirational Lizzi Jordan MBE, Paralympic gold medal cyclist and remarkable survivor of life-threatening sepsis and cardiogenic shock.
Susanna and Nicholas shared cutting-edge clinical insights on recognition, haemodynamics, mechanical support, and the latest innovations in treatment, while Lizzi delivered a raw, moving account of multiple organ failure, induced coma, and her incredible fight back to elite sporting success despite losing her sight.
This conversation perfectly blends world-class medical expertise with an extraordinary patient perspective — emotional, practical, hopeful, and deeply human - an unmissable session from SOA25.
