The DanShock trial (NCT01633502) assessed the efficacy of the Impella CP ventricular assist device in reducing mortality following myocardial infarction (MI). The Impella CP is a catheter-based axial flow pump that directly channels blood from the left ventricle into the circulation, delivering 3.5L/min (approximately 75% of normal cardiac output). Investigators randomized 360 patients to receive either a microaxial flow pump plus standard of care (SOC) (n=179) or SOC alone (n=176).

When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections between them get stronger. This process helps our brains learn and remember things and is known as long-term potentiation or LTP. Another type of LTP occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen temporarily -- anoxia-induced long-term potentiationor aLTP. aLTP blocks the former process, thereby impairin
