CardioShift

CardioShift is an offline quick-reference app for clinicians working in
cardiac surgery and critical care — nurses, advanced practice providers,
physicians, pharmacists, and trainees.

Every card is built around what you actually need at the bedside: the
number, the threshold, the drug, the "why" behind it — backed by cited
trials and guidelines, not just opinion.

WHAT'S INSIDE
• Phenotypes & Staging — HFrEF/HFmrEF/HFpEF, ACC/AHA stages, NYHA class
• GDMT — the four pillars, dosing, mortality data, ICU initiation pathways
• Hemodynamics — normal ranges, what each number means, Frank-Starling
explained simply
• Cardiogenic Shock — SCAI stages, hemodynamics, causes, medical therapy,
and escalation to mechanical support
• The Right Ventricle — RV MI and RV failure, hemodynamics and treatment
• Mechanical Circulatory Support — IABP, Impella, ECMO, and durable LVAD
nursing considerations
• Cardiothoracic Surgery — CABG, valve repair/replacement, cardiopulmonary
bypass, aortic aneurysm repair, the Maze procedure, and LAA clips
• Cardiac Drips — vasopressors and inotropes, mechanism and nursing
watch-points
• Post-Op Priorities — chest tubes, tamponade recognition, pacing wires,
sternal precautions, glycemic control, and perioperative medications
• Post-Cardiotomy Shock — hemodynamic differential and escalation pathway
• Vasoplegia & Autonomic Dysfunction — what it is, risk factors, and
management
• Quiz Mode — 75+ questions to build and test recall, with your streak and
best score saved on your device
• Search — find any medication, trial, or clinical term across the entire
app instantly
• Bookmarks — save any card for quick access later
• References — every trial and guideline cited in one place, with direct
links

WORKS OFFLINE
CardioShift is built to work with no internet connection — everything you
need ships with the app itself.
