Early Mechanical Circulatory Support is Associated with Improved Outcomes in Cardiogenic Shock Due to End-Stage Heart Failure

Data on mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) due to end-stage heart failure (ESHF) are limited. We hypothesised that earlier intervention with MCS in patients with CS due to ESHF at INTERMACS class 2 compared to INTERMACS 1 is associated with less organ dysfunction and better survival .
