To PAC or not to PAC that is the question the #PACCS #RCT will answer. The #CSWG announces enrollment of the first #HF patient <2 weeks after trial activation. This is the #Door2PAC RCT to address recent guideline changes for PAC use in #cardiogenicshock clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05…

Excited to be part of the future of transvalvular ventricular #unloading with the #Impella #ECP from @Abiomed First and only center in New England to offer this 9Fr #innovation for complex #PCI to our patients and IC/HF Fellows @TuftsMedicalCtr Single Angioseal on the way out!

2 centimeters of plastic to save a life - this #shock widget saves limbs and lives when #ECMO is required. Key tools for the on call IC shock operator. #CSWG @DrAmirKaki @SandeepNathanMD @TheNarulaSeries @agtruesdell @JHMontfort10 @ShashankSinhaMD @SripalBangalore @manreetkanwar

Grateful to @CircAHA for publishing our @nih_nhlbi funded 'bed-to-bench' research identifying novel mechanisms (and therapeutic targets) by which #ECMO regulates myocardial biology and #mitochondrial integrity that are independent of #hemodynamic load. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

VA-ECMO depletes myocardial tafazzin and cardiolipin which disrupts mitochondrial structural and functional integrity independent of hemodynamic load. Stabilizing cardiolipin reduces myocardial damage with VA-ECMO, thereby introducing a potentially new therapeutic approach to mitigate LV injury for thousands of patients requiring VA-ECMO support.

Everyday I am humbled by the acuity of normotensive anterior #STEMI in the #DTU trial @Abiomed - this is not a benign condition even with rapid DTB times. Kudos to the #STEMI-DTU operators working around the globe and around the clock to solve this problem.

Replying to @thiele_holger

It’s not about belief. It’s about physiology. IABPs target afterload - a key determinant of CO. IABPs play an important role when high afterload is involved - ie advanced HF or late presenting MI. Not all shock is equal. Hemodynamics may identify responders. Yes RCTs required.

Is this LV Loaded? Proximal LAD occlusion with anterior #STEMI without shock. Is unleashing reperfusion injury our best option in 2022? Luckily this patient arrived at a #STEMI DTU site. Get involved and reduce the burden of ischemic heart failure! Time to Unload @BillONeillMD

Congratulations to @ElricZweck and our #CSWG ML-AI team for this recent report in @JAHA_AHA on phenotypic #cardiogenicshock. New insights including methods, @SCAI staging, and hemo-metabolic variables. Let’s implement new knowledge to improve outcomes! doi.org/10.1161/jaha.1…
