Ventilation strategies in cardiogenic shock: Insights from the AltShock‐2 registry

European Journal of Heart Failure

Ventilatory modalities in cardiogenic shock: insights from the AltShock-2 registry. Aims To describe the use and the relation to outcome of different ventilation strategies in a contemporary, large, prospective registry of cardiogenic shock patients. The 60-day mortality rates were 40.2%

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

Introduction The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in selected patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is an established method if return of spontaneous circulation cannot be achieved.

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in cardiogenic shock complicating acute myocardial infarction

European Journal of Heart Failure

Impella and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in patients with acute myocardial infarction-related cardiogenic shock (AMICS). Impella patients were older (34% vs. 13% >75 years, p  < 0.001) and less frequently presented after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (18% vs. 40%, p  < 0.001).

Gender disparities in patients undergoing extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Introduction The use of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) has emerged as a treatment option for selected patients who are experiencing refractory cardiac arrest (CA).

Prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention

Open Heart

We aimed to investigate the prevalence and outcomes of patients with SMuRF-less ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with those with SMuRFs. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included in-hospital and 30-day events. Patients with coronary artery disease were excluded.

Abstract 4118341: Outcomes of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients With Concurrent Opioid Use: Insights From the National Inpatient Sample

Circulation

As heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) comprises half of all heart failure cases, understanding its management and effect on outcomes is crucial. There was a non-significant increased risk of cardiogenic shock (aOR 1.14, 95% CI 0.87 - 1.5, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.01, 95% CI 0.85 - 1.2,

Impact of Advanced Therapy Centers on Characteristics and Outcomes of Heart Failure Admissions

Circulation: Heart Failure

Patient characteristics, outcomes, and procedural volume were compared among 3 cohorts: admissions to non-ATCs, admissions to ATCs, and transfers to ATCs. A secondary analysis evaluated outcomes for severe HF hospitalizations (cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, and mechanical ventilation).
