Pressure-strain loops unveil haemodynamics behind mechanical circulatory support systems.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems are increasingly employed in cardiogenic shock and advanced heart failure. A thorough understanding of the complex interactions occurring among heart, vasculature, and device is essential to optimize patient's management. The aim of this study is to explore non-invasive haemodynamic profiling of patients undergoing MCS based on pressure-strain (PS) analysis.

Methods

Clinical and echocardiographic data from consecutive patients undergoing different MCS systems positioning/implantation admitted to the third level cardiological intensive care unit of Siena Hospital from August 2021 to November 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients without a useful echocardiographic exam or without arterial blood pressure recording at the
