Abstract

Mechanical circulatory support is used widely in acute setting of myocardial infarction, myocarditis, and cardiogenic shock as well as in chronic scenarios with advanced end-stage heart failure. Different algorithmic approaches can help the clinician decide the type of support required in a high morbidity and mortality setting. It is paramount to emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to make steadfast decisions in the acute settings of cardiogenic shock.

Keywords: Cardiogenic shock; Heart failure; Mechanical circulatory support.
