The Impella device (Impella, Abiomed, Danvers, MA) is a percutaneous transvalvular
microaxial flow pump that is currently used for (1) cardiogenic shock,(2) left ventricular …

Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is
increasingly used to treat cardiogenic shock. However, VA-ECMO might hamper myocardial …

Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is used as mechanical
circulatory support in cardiogenic shock (CS). It restores peripheral perfusion, at the …

Aim The management of cardiogenic shock remains a clinical challenge even in well‐
developed healthcare systems, best illustrated by its high mortality despite numerous …

Aims Early risk stratification is essential to guide treatment in cardiogenic shock (CS).
Existing CS risk scores were derived in selected cohorts, without accounting for the …

Aims Published data on cardiogenic shock (CS) are scarce and are mostly focused on small
registries of selected populations. The aim of this study was to examine the current CS …

Background A central element in the management of cardiogenic shock (CS) comprises
mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems to maintain cardiac output (CO). This study …

Background Currently, use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in non-ischaemic
cardiogenic shock (CS) is predominantly guided by shock-specific markers, and not by …

Aims Differences between female and male patients in clinical presentation, causes and
treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS) are poorly understood. We aimed to investigate sex …

Abstract Purpose of Review We aim to summarize recent insights and provide an up-to-date
overview on the role of intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counterpulsation in cardiogenic …
