Renal microcirculatory impairment on contrast enhanced ultrasound predicts persistent renal impairment in cardiogenic shock patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most frequent complications in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) receiving veno‑arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Microcirculation dysfunction is an important mechanism and it can be effectively evaluated b...

Dynamic Echocardiographic Trajectory Phenotypes During Veno‐Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation and Their Association With In‐Hospital Mortality: A Multicenter Cohort Study

BACKGROUND: Current risk stratification for veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation relies on static assessments, ignoring dynamic cardiac evolution. We aimed to identify longitudinal echocardiographic trajectory phenotypes and evaluate their association with in-hospita...
