OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the implementation
of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) during refractory cardiac …

Aims Heart failure‐related cardiogenic shock (HF‐CS) accounts for a significant proportion
of CS cases. Whether patients with de novo HF and those with acute‐on‐chronic HF in CS …

Aims The present analysis from the multicentre prospective Altshock‐2 registry aims to better
define clinical features, in‐hospital course, and management of cardiogenic shock …

Background Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high even when mechanical
circulatory support (MCS) restores adequate circulation. To detect a potential contribution of …

In the last years, major progress has occurred in heart failure (HF) management. The 2023
ESC focused update of the 2021 HF guidelines introduced new key recommendations …

Background Heart failure–related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) accounts for a significant
proportion of all CS cases. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence on sex-related …

Background Evidence on the comparative outcomes following percutaneous microaxial
ventricular assist devices (pVAD) versus intra‐aortic balloon pump for nonacute myocardial …

Background Observational data suggest that the subset of patients with heart failure related
CS (HF-CS) now predominate critical care admissions for CS. There are no dedicated HF …

Aims The optimal timing for implementing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in
cardiogenic shock (CS) remains indeterminate. This study aims to evaluate patient …
