Journal of Cardiac Failure A. Reshad Garan MD Rachna Kataria, MD Shashank Sinha, MD, MSc, FACC, FAHA Manreet Kanwar Vanessa Blumer, MD, FACC Maya Guglin Shelley Hall Really important finding that I hope we will test prospectively one day. Also foundational work that should help better inform the transfer process.

Interesting pre-clinical study … IABP decreased LVEDP by a peak of 15% while slightly increasing LV stroke work compared with decreases of more than 60% and 50% with the pVAD, respectively. A-CURE Working Group

🫀In this #CardiogenicShock study, over 1/2 of CS pts at large hubs had been transferred from other hospitals.
They had higher mortality compared to those presenting directly to the hub & this was primarily driven by pts with HF-CS rather than AMI-CS.

🥸It was quite busy in ACC to tweet, but will try to summarize few highlights for trials if anyone missed them.

😱Starting with DanGer Shock: funded by Abiomed

Summary 👇👇👇

At the end of every big meeting, I wait for these interviews that Harriette Van Spall, MD MPH so masterfully curates

The results of Relieve-HF procedure controlled trial left us all with questions/thoughts

Can’t wait to listen to this & I really hope there’s also one coming on DANGER Shock!❤️‍🔥

Bernard Kadosh Shashank Sinha, MD, MSc, FACC, FAHA Navin Kapur Manreet Kanwar Jaime Hernandez-Montfort A. Reshad Garan MD Dan Burkhoff MD PhD Jason N. Katz MAIN point made at deep dive - the pt population in this trial represents MINORITY of STEMI shock - let’s NOT extrapolate data to other pop.

These were: LVF only, shock w/in hours w/ lactate 4.5, LOW EF, MV CAD, no OHCA.

AND what’s happening w/women? Vascular? Bleeding? 👀
