Background: Women are underrepresented In cardiovascular disease research, constituting only 30 % of the cardiogenic shock (CS) population. Consequently, guidelines are mainly based on male patients. This study aims to comprehensively examine the sex-specific aspects of acute myocardial infarction (AMI)-related CS, encompassing presentation, treatment and outcomes.

While observational data favour transradial access (TRA) due to lower complication rates and mortality, transfemoral access (TFA) PCI offers advantages such as shorter access and procedure times, along with quicker escalation to mechanical circulatory support (MCS). In this study, we aimed to investigate factors associated with a transfemoral approach and compare mortality rates between TRA and TFA in AMI-CS patients undergoing PCI.

Methods And Results: This nationwide observational cohort study describes all AMICS patients treated with Impella (ABIOMED, Danvers, MA, USA) and/or VA-ECMO in 2020-2021. Impella and/or VA-ECMO were used in 20% of all AMICS cases (n = 4088).
Article Synopsis
- - Cardiogenic shock (CS) following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) leads to high rates of morbidity and mortality, with a study examining 2328 patients revealing a 30-day mortality rate of 39% and common characteristics among non-survivors.
- - Patients who did not survive presented with lower blood pressure, higher heart rates, elevated blood lactate and glucose levels, and a greater prevalence of conditions like diabetes and prior coronary events.
- - The study found that while a significant percentage of patients received mechanical support (mainly through intra-aortic balloon pumps) and vasoactive agents, and many underwent multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), these treatments were administered despite limited evidence supporting their effectiveness in improving survival.
Purpose: This scoping review aims to identify and describe knowledge gaps and research priorities in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO).
Methods: An expert panel was recruited consisting of eight international experts from different backgrounds. First, a list of priority topics was made.
Introduction: Febrile neutropenia (FN) is a common complication of the intensive treatment strategies used in pediatric oncology. By close adherence to high-quality guidelines, which can be evaluated by indicators, the burden of FN can potentially be reduced.
Objectives: The aims of this study were tripartite-(1) to develop structure, process, and outcome indicators, (2) to evaluate the implementation of the Dutch Childhood Oncology Group (DCOG) guideline on FN, and (3) to produce baseline measures on local quality of FN care (in the north of the Netherlands).
