and management remains challenging despite advances in therapeutic options. CS is
caused by severe impairment of myocardial performance that results in diminished cardiac …

Cardiogenic shock is the clinical expression of circulatory failure, as a consequence of left,
right or biventricular dysfunction. Cardiogenic shock is also defined as a state of critical end …

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 …

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides temporary cardiac
and respiratory support and has emerged as an established salvage intervention for patients …

Cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, acute respiratory failure, or a combination of such events,
are all potential complications after cardiac surgery which lead to high mortality. Use of …

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

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a condition associated with high mortality rates in which
prognostication is uncertain for a variety of reasons, including its myriad causes, its rapidly …

During veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO), the increase of left
ventricular (LV) afterload can potentially increase the LV stress, exacerbate myocardial …

OBJECTIVES Pulmonary artery (PA) cannulation during peripheral venoarterial
extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been shown to be effective either for …

Preexisting heart failure (HF) in patients with sepsis is associated with worse clinical
outcomes. Core sepsis management includes aggressive volume resuscitation followed by …
