Abstract Introduction:  In cardiogenic shock (CS), persistent microcirculatory impairment despite improved macrocirculatory parameters is associated with poor outcomes. Therapeutic strategies must therefore address both macro- and micro-circulation. Conventional microcirculatory measures..

Abstract Importance To date, no studies have described the financial burden and behaviors of left ventricular mechanical unloading (LVMU) for patients on veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). Given the..

Abstract Background The prognostic significance of an adverse acid–base milieu despite venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support in patients with cardiogenic shock remains poorly defined. We examined metabolic and respiratory disturbances..

Abstract Post-cardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PC-CS) affects 2–6% of cardiac surgery patients. While survival rates keep improving, 40% of intensive care (ICU) survivors experience a “post-intensive care syndrome”, encompassing physical, cognitive,..

Abstract Introduction Temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS) has become essential in managing severe cardiac dysfunction, particularly refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Despite widespread adoption, the optimal use of tMCS is often..

Abstract Context: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a life-sustaining therapy for severe refractory cardiogenic shock. Although VA-ECMO provides various degrees of cardiopulmonary support, mortality rates remain high. Serum biomarkers have..

Abstract Managing refractory cardiogenic shock is individualized, with few aspects considered routine or universally contraindicated. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a temporary mechanical circulatory support strategy, providing hemodynamic stabilization..

Abstract Importance  Levosimendan may facilitate weaning from venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and improve survival, but supporting evidence remains limited. Objective  To assess whether early administration of levosimendan reduces the time to..

Abstract Background For decades, the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) has been a reliable and readily available pillar of therapy for cardiogenic shock (CS). However, no clinical markers have been validated..
