Clinical Outcomes with Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump in Cardiogenic Shock Due to Acute Myocardial Infarction or Heart Failure: A Report from the Cardiogenic Shock Working Group
Purpose: Intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABPs) are the most used mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSD) in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) in US. Real world data evaluating clinical outcomes in patients supported with IABP remain limited by small numbers. Moreover, there is lack of correlation of outcomes for the use of IABP in CS due to acute myocardial infarction (MI-CS) vs heart failure (HF-CS).

Acute Limb Ischemia is an Important Target of Therapy to Decrease In-Hospital Mortality and is Associated with Endovascular Acute Mechanical Circulatory Support in Cardiogenic Shock
Purpose: Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a devastating complication of cardiogenic shock (CS) Real world data evaluating outcomes of ALI in CS remain limited. (Source: The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation)

Clinical Outcomes Among Impella 5.0/5.5 Recipients with Cardiogenic Shock: A Report from The Cardiogenic Shock Working Group
Purpose: The Impella 5.0 and 5.5 are large-bore trans-valvular mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSD) used in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS). Real world data evaluating clinical outcomes in patients supported with Impella 5.0/5.5 remain limited by small numbers or single center series.

Risk Prediction and Standardisation of Cardiogenic Shock Care
Cardiogenic shock (CS), specifically complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI), continues to be associated with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in pharmacotherapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques, and temporary mechanical circulatory support (MCS) device technology [1]. Poor in-hospital and long-term outcomes are largely attributable to heterogeneity in the presentation, aetiology, severity, and clinical assessment of CS, which continues to be challenging [2].

Clinical Value of Troponin Levels to Cardiac Function and Prognosis in Patients with Fulminant Myocarditis
This study aimed to investigate the association between cardiac Tn levels and the course of cardiac function, and prognosis in patients with fulminant myocarditis (FM) receiving percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS).We used data from a multicenter retrospective registry, CHANGE PUMP 2, which included 216 patients with FM who required MCS. Among them, 141 patients whose Tn levels were available were analyzed. The patients were divided into low and high Tn groups according to the median values of TnT and TnI.The median age was 54 years, and 59.6% were male. The TnT and TnI on day 1 (at MCS initiation) were 3.8 (1...
