Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary hypertension is a major obstacle in determining heart transplant candidate eligibility and affects post-transplant outcomes; mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices, like left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), can help manage this condition.
- A systematic review of studies showed that MCS devices significantly reduce pulmonary vascular resistance and can reverse pulmonary hypertension, improving eligibility for heart transplants and potentially increasing post-transplant survival rates.
- Further research is necessary to compare different MCS devices and establish optimal treatment protocols to enhance patient care for those facing heart transplantation challenges.

The aim of this study was to determine the in-hospital mortality and clinical outcome in AMI patients presenting with CS in a tertiary hospital in Oman.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients admitted to the cardiology department between January 2013 and December 2014.
