Objectives: The benefit of combining multiple mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) is debated. This review examines patient characteristics across studies to identify differences and assesses if patients with a higher-risk clinical profile receive Impella unloading.
Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to examine if there were significant differences in baseline clinical parameters among patients receiving MCS in addition to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO).

Background: Acute myocardial infarction during pregnancy is a rare condition with an incidence of 1 to 10 per 100,000 deliveries. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is dominating the clinical presentation. It is estimated that 29% of the patients had normal coronary arteries, and hyperthyroidism may be associated with coronary vasospasm.

The year 2024 has witnessed substantial advancements in interventional cardiology, encompassing both coronary and structural interventions.In coronary field, trials have explored percutaneous innovations for coronary lesions, strategies for managing post‑infarction cardiogenic shock and non‑invasive approaches for guiding revascularization. The uploaded guidelines for chronic coronary syndromes emphasize individualized care, integrating modalities such as fractional flow reserve (FFR), intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and new teatments, including cochicine, GLP-1 receptor agonists and bempedoic acid.

Background: The effect of pregnancy on individuals with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is not well investigated.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of pregnancy on all-cause mortality and clinical outcomes among individuals with HCM.
Methods: Using the TriNetX research network, we identified individuals within reproductive age (≥18-45 years) with a diagnosis of HCM between 2012 and 2022 (n = 10,936).

Background: High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy has developed as a valuable tool for respiratory support in pediatric critical care. It offers an intermediate level of support between traditional low-flow oxygen and non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Studies suggest its effectiveness in improving oxygen delivery, work of breathing, and secretion clearance.
