Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock (CS) are at risk of developing mixed (MS), characterized by distributive-inflammatory phenotype. However, no objective definition exists for this clinical entity.
Abstract Aims Impella malrotation—inlet orientation away from the left ventricular (LV) apex with normal console waveforms and proper device depth—is commonly observed possibly associated worse haemodynamics. This study aimed to characterize haemodynamic consequences of malrotation in cardiogenic shock (CS) patients. Methods results We included 100 CS patients (60 ± 12 years; 79.0% males) available echocardiography during support pulmonary artery catheter assessment before (at 48 h) support....
