Differential effect of left ventricular unloading according to the aetiology of cardiogenic shock.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Evidence for the effectiveness of left ventricular (LV) unloading in patients who received venoaterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or non-AMI induced cardiogenic shock (CS) is limited. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of LV unloading in AMI-induced and non-AMI-induced CS.

Methods and results

This is a single-centre retrospective observational study of patients with CS undergoing VA-ECMO from January 2011 to March 2019. Patients were classified as AMI-induced and non-AMI-induced CS. The association of LV unloading with 90-day mortality in both groups was analysed using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis.

Results

Of the 128 CS patients, 71 (55.5%) patients received VA-ECMO due to
