Objective: The incidence of cardiogenic shock cases treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support has been on the rise. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a significant complication of cardiogenic shock and a frequent serious complication in patients requiring ECMO-supported therapy. AKI is strongly associated with unfavorable patient prognosis. However, there is a paucity of data on the influence of AKI on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (AMI-CS) who are receiving ECMO support, particularly with regard to long-term outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 103 patients in the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2017 and June 2022. AKI was defined according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) criteria. Cox regression and logistic regression were used to identify risk factors.
Results: In this study, the incidence of AKI was 63.11%, with AKI stage 1, 2, and 3 accounting for 21.36%, 12.62%, and 29.13%, respectively. Patients with severe AKI had significantly higher in-hospital mortality (43.33% vs 27.40%, P < 0.001), 30-day mortality (60.00% vs 31.51%, P = 0.001), and 1-year mortality (63.67% vs 34.25%, P<0.001) than those without severe AKI. Furthermore, severe AKI significantly increased the risk of one-year mortality (HR 10.816, CI 3.118-37.512, P<0.001). Baseline serum creatinine, baseline platelet, and active cardiopulmonary resuscitation were independent predictors of one-year mortality. In addition, baseline white blood cell count, baseline aspartate aminotransferase, baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT), baseline serum creatinine, preoperative lactate, and postoperative mean arterial pressure were independent risk factors of severe AKI during hospitalization.
Conclusion: In patients with AMI-CS receiving ECMO support, AKI is highly prevalent. Development of severe AKI significantly increased the risk of one-year mortality.

Acute cardiovascular disorders are incriminated in up to 33% of maternal deaths, and the presence of sickle cell anemia (SCA) aggravates the risk of peripartum complications. Herein, we present a 24-year-old Caribbean woman with known SCA who developed a vaso-occlusive crisis at 36 weeks of gestation that required emergency Cesarean section. In the early postpartum period, she experienced fever with rapid onset of acute respiratory distress in the context of COVID-19 infection that required tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilatory support with broad-spectrum antibiotics and blood exchange transfusion.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with high mortality, particularly in women. With early intervention being a cornerstone of CS management, this study aims to explore whether sex differences exist in the utilization of critical interventions, timing of treatment, and in-hospital mortality for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and non-AMI-CS. For this retrospective cohort study, we queried the National Inpatient Sample (years 2016-2021) for CS-related hospitalizations.

: Heart failure is the leading cause of hospital admission and mortality. Racial disparities have been demonstrated in various cardiovascular disorders; however, the data for in-hospital outcomes, complications, and procedural rates are limited. : Utilizing the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database, this retrospective cohort study included adult patients admitted with a principal diagnosis of heart failure.

Background: Left ventricular unloading is needed in patients on extracorporeal life support (ECLS) with severely impaired left ventricular contractility to avoid stasis and pulmonary congestion, and to promote LV recovery. The presence of thrombi in the LV precludes the use of conventional active unloading methods such as transaortic microaxial pumps or apical LV vents. We describe placement of a vent cannula via the left atrial appendage (LAA) as a useful bailout option.

Purpose Of Review: This article discusses a tailored approach to managing cardiogenic shock and temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS). We also outline specific mobilization strategies for patients with different tMCS devices and configurations, which can be enabled by this tailored approach to cardiogenic shock management.
Recent Findings: Safe and effective mobilization of patients with cardiogenic shock receiving tMCS can be accomplished.
