Impella Versus Intra?Aortic Balloon Pump in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock Treated With Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: An Observational Study

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundVenoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA‐ECMO) is increasingly used for patients with cardiogenic shock. The proportion of patients receiving Impella significantly increased from 2016 to 2020 (6.5% ConclusionsIn patients with cardiogenic shock on VA‐ECMO, LVU with Impella, particularly with 2.5/CP,

Abstract 4146823: Trends and Outcomes in Heart Failure Admissions and Cardiogenic Shock Among Patients with Congenital Heart Disease

Circulation

CHD admissions remained stable from 2016 to 2020. Cardiogenic shock rates were highest among SV-CHD patients, with significant fluctuations, followed by DV-CHD patients. Variations in cardiogenic shock, MCS usage, and cardiac transplants emphasize the need for adaptive clinical practices to optimize patient outcomes.

Early Utilization of Mechanical Circulatory Support in Acute Myocardial Infarction Complicated by Cardiogenic Shock: The National Cardiogenic Shock Initiative

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAcute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI‐CS) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A total of 406 patients were enrolled at 80 sites between 2016 and 2020. The primary end point was in‐hospital mortality.

Gender disparities in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods We retrospectively analysed the data of 377 consecutive patients treated for OHCA using eCPR in our cardiac arrest centre from January 2016 to December 2022. We evaluated the prognostic influence of gender in patients presenting with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with eCPR.

Acute artery occlusion -- which one?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Taking a step back , remember that sinus tachycardia is less commonly seen in OMI (except in cases of impending cardiogenic shock). As per Dr. Frick — sinus tachycardia is usually not seen with acute OMI unless the patient is in cardiogenic shock. Additionally, there is borderline right axis deviation. Both were wrong.

Prognostic influence of mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation on survival in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest undergoing ECPR on VA-ECMO

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods We retrospectively analyzed data of 171 consecutive patients treated for OHCA using ECPR in our cardiac arrest center from the years 2016 to 2022. The primary reason for OHCA was an acute coronary event (72%) followed by primary arrhythmia (9%) and non-ischemic cardiogenic shock (6.7%).
