Aims: Cardiogenic shock (CS) develops in up to 10% of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and carries a 50% risk of mortality. Despite the paucity of evidence regarding its benefits, venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly used in clinical practice in patients with AMI in CS (AMI-CS). This review aims to provide an in-depth description of the four available randomized controlled trials to date designed to evaluate the benefit of VA-ECMO in patients with AMI-CS.

- The management of type 2 diabetes often lacks coordination, leading to delays in care and underutilization of recommended treatments.
- A study analyzed 232 patients in a specialized clinic where endocrinologists, cardiologists, and nephrologists assessed patients together, focusing on the use of guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT).
- Results showed a significant increase in GDMT use and improvements in key health markers, indicating that synchronized care may enhance treatment and patient outcomes.
Cardiovascular disease, and particularly ischemic heart disease, is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in high-income countries. The incidence of acute myocardial infarction has been rising over the past 2 decades due to increasing maternal age and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the pregnant population. Causes of acute myocardial infarction in pregnancy are diverse and may require specific considerations for their diagnosis and management.
