Summary: Sixteen sheep with ischemic chronic heart failure were randomized to either 3 months of Impella 5.5 support (Abiomed) or sham. Myocardial reverse remodeling by Impella support was shown by a significant reduction of end-diastolic volume (Impella

Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.

In this large multicenter study, AF before LVAD implantation was not associated with increased risks of mortality, bleeding, stroke, or pump thrombosis, but was linked to a higher incidence of late VAs. ABSTRACT Introduction A substantial proportion of patients receiving left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) present with pre‐existing atrial ...

Prophylactic Impella CP versus VA-ECMO in Patients Undergoing Complex High-Risk Indicated PCI
Objectives. To compare two different forms of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with complex high-risk indicated PCI (CHIP): the Impella CP system and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Background.

Alternative Measures of Body Composition and Outcomes Following Heart Transplant
ABSTRACT Current guidelines for heart transplant (HT) listing support body mass index (BMI) < 35 kg/m2, though data supporting this recommendation is mixed. It is unclear if other more specific measurements of body composition are better predictors of outcomes post‐HT.
