Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure-related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) accounts for a significant proportion of all CS cases. Nevertheless, there is a lack of evidence on sex-related differences in HF-CS, especially regarding use of treatment and mortality risk in women vs. men. This study aimed to investigate potential differences in clinical presentation, use of treatments, and mortality between women and men with HF-CS. METHODS In this international observational study, patients with HF-CS (without acute myocardial infarction) from 16 tertiary-care centers in five countries were enrolled between 2010 and 2021. Logistic and Cox regression models were used to assess differences in clinical presentation, use of treatments, and 30-day mortality in women vs. men with HF-CS. RESULTS N = 1030 patients with HF-CS were analyzed, of whom 290 (28.2%) were women. Compared to men, women were more likely to be older, less likely to have a known history of heart failure or cardiovascular risk factors, and lower rates of highly depressed left ventricular ejection fraction and renal dysfunction. Nevertheless, CS severity as well as use of treatments were comparable, and female sex was not independently associated with 30-day mortality (53.0% vs. 50.8%; adjusted HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.75-1.19). CONCLUSIONS In this large HF-CS registry, sex disparities in risk factors and clinical presentation were observed. Despite these differences, the use of treatments was comparable, and both sexes exhibited similarly high mortality rates. Further research is necessary to evaluate if sex-tailored treatment, accounting for the differences in cardiovascular risk factors and clinical presentation, might improve outcomes in HF-CS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in non-ischaemic cardiogenic shock (CS) is predominantly guided by shock-specific markers, and not by markers of cardiac function. We hypothesise that left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) can identify patients with a higher likelihood to benefit from MCS and thus help to optimise their expected benefit. METHODS Patients with non-ischaemic CS and available data on LVEF from 16 tertiary-care centres in five countries were analysed. Cox regression models were fitted to evaluate the association between LVEF and mortality, as well as the interaction between LVEF, MCS use and mortality. RESULTS N = 807 patients were analysed: mean age 63 [interquartile range (IQR) 51.5-72.0] years, 601 (74.5%) male, lactate 4.9 (IQR 2.6-8.5) mmol/l, LVEF 20 (IQR 15-30) %. Lower LVEF was more frequent amongst patients with more severe CS, and MCS was more likely used in patients with lower LVEF. There was no association between LVEF and 30-day mortality risk in the overall study cohort. However, there was a significant interaction between MCS use and LVEF, indicating a lower 30-day mortality risk with MCS use in patients with LVEF ≤ 20% (hazard ratio 0.72, 95% confidence interval 0.51-1.02 for LVEF ≤ 20% vs. hazard ratio 1.31, 95% confidence interval 0.85-2.01 for LVEF > 20%, interaction-p = 0.017). CONCLUSION This retrospective study may indicate a lower mortality risk with MCS use only in patients with severely reduced LVEF. This may propose the inclusion of LVEF as an adjunctive parameter for MCS decision-making in non-ischaemic CS, aiming to optimise the benefit-risk ratio.

Abstract
AIMS Heart failure-related cardiogenic shock (HF-CS) accounts for a significant proportion of CS cases. Whether patients with de novo HF and those with acute-on-chronic HF in CS differ in clinical characteristics and outcome remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in clinical presentation and mortality between patients with de novo and acute-on-chronic HF-CS. METHODS AND RESULTS In this international observational study, patients with HF-CS from 16 tertiary care centres in five countries were enrolled between 2010 and 2021. To investigate differences in clinical presentation and 30-day mortality, adjusted logistic/Cox regression models were fitted. Patients (n = 1030) with HF-CS were analysed, of whom 486 (47.2%) presented with de novo HF-CS and 544 (52.8%) with acute-on-chronic HF-CS. Traditional markers of CS severity (e.g. blood pressure, heart rate and lactate) as well as use of treatments were comparable between groups. However, patients with acute-on-chronic HF-CS were more likely to have a higher CS severity and also a higher mortality risk, after adjusting for relevant confounders (de novo HF 45.5%, acute-on-chronic HF 55.9%, adjusted hazard ratio 1.38, 95% confidence interval 1.10-1.72, p = 0.005). CONCLUSION In this large HF-CS cohort, acute-on-chronic HF-CS was associated with more severe CS and higher mortality risk compared to de novo HF-CS, although traditional markers of CS severity and use of treatments were comparable. These findings highlight the vast heterogeneity of patients with HF-CS, emphasize that HF chronicity is a relevant disease modifier in CS, and indicate that future clinical trials should account for this.

Abstract
Aim: The impact on safety and efficacy outcomes of Impella 5.0 in cardiogenic shock (CS) has not been systematically assessed. Materials & methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature (PROSPERO protocol: CRD42020164680) to critically appraise available evidence on Impella 5.0 comparative safety, efficacy and effectiveness. Results: Of 244 retrieved citations, 17 original articles met the a priori defined inclusion criteria. All included studies had a retrospective study design and, overall, reported on, respectively, 52 and 67 different safety and efficacy/effectiveness outcomes. Thirty-day survival rates ranged from 40 to 94%, myocardial recovery from 18 to 93%. Conclusion: Impella 5.0 provides a full cardiac support, it is associated with a lower rate of vascular complications, it represents a valuable bridge-to-decision and allows for resolution of intercurrent clinical conditions. As available data suggest Impella 5.0 good performance in CS of various etiologies, more solid evidence will come from much-needed large-scale all-comer registries and prospective multicenter randomized trials.

Weaning of patients from Impella is complex and includes evaluation of the underlying disease, which is essential for estimating the potential for heart recovery. Monitoring during the weaning phase with echocardiography and pulmonary artery catheters will be discussed, as well as the use of intravenous and oral heart failure drugs. Patients who are candidates for weaning must be stable, without inotropes, and must have recovered from acute end-organ damage. Coronary artery disease and valvular heart diseases should be appropriately addressed before weaning to take the maximum advantage of haemodynamic stability provided by the support and to maximize the possibility of weaning. Tips and tricks for the mobilization of Impella patients will also be discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Impella () percutaneous mechanical circulatory support device is a catheter-based, impeller-driven, axial-flow pump. It reduces left ventricular (LV) stroke work and myocardial oxygen demand while increasing systemic and coronary perfusion in the setting of cardiogenic shock (CS).
Purpose
The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with CS treated with Impella at our center.
Methods
Our single-center, real-world, observational registry included all consecutive patients with CS treated with Impella 2.5, CP, 5.0, or RP at our center from February 2013 to June 2018. Indication for Impella implantation was CS, defined as hypotension (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg) despite adequate filling status with signs of hypoperfusion.
Results
A total of 130 patients were included in the registry, mean age was 61±12 years, and 79.2% were males. A history of prior MI, chronic heart failure, and chronic kidney disease was present in 28.9%, 26.1%, and 18.3%, respectively. The etiologies of CS were the following: fulminant myocarditis in 6.1% of the patients, acute coronary syndromes in 59.2%, peri-procedural CS during ventricular tachycardia ablation in 7.7% and acute heart failure in 27%. Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest was present in 30.4% of the patients; 60.2% were in INTERMACS I class at presentation. At admission, mean arterial pressure (MAP) was 65±18 mmHg, serum lactate was 6.7±5.5 mmol/L, mean left ventricular ejection fraction 21.4±11.7%, right ventricular dysfunction was indeed present in 48.6% of the patients. Inotropic drugs support was used in 66.4% of the patients. Impella 2.5, CP, and 5.0 were implanted in 76.1%, 15.4%, and 1.5% of the patients, respectively. Impella RP was also used in 11.5% of patients.The mean duration of support was 135±167 hours. Of note, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) were implanted before Impella insertion in 42.8% and 46.7% of the patients, respectively. Escalation to ECMO, ventricular assist device, or heart transplantation was needed in 35.8% of the patients. During hospital stay, acute kidney injury occurred in 56.7% of the patients; need of renal replacement therapy (RRT) 31.7%; access site-related bleeding 14.3%; life-threatening bleeding 31.5%; acute limb ischemia 14.5%; hemolysis 33.3%. The rate of all-cause mortality at 30 day was 39.7%. Need of RRT was the only independent predictor of 30-day mortality (OR 6.56; CI 1.71–25.15; p=0.006).
Conclusion
Our single-center, real-world, observational experience reports acceptable clinical outcomes after Impella implantation in a particularly complex population of patients with CS (INTERMACS class I in 60.2% of patients, prior use of ECMO in 42.8% of patients). All-cause mortality at 30 days was 39.7%, and need of RRT was the only independent predictor for 30-day mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Impella (Abiomed, Danvers, MA) mechanical circulatory support is a catheter-based axial-flow pump. It reduces left ventricular (LV) stroke work and myocardial oxygen demand while increasing systemic and coronary perfusion in the setting of cardiogenic shock (CS), and it provides hemodynamic support during high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Purpose
To evaluate the outcomes of Impella-supported patients in the context of CS and protected-PCI.
Methods
This single-center registry includes all patients implanted with Impella device at our institution between February 2013 and June 2018. Indications for Impella support were CS (hypotension despite adequate filling status with signs of hypoperfusion) and protected-PCI (prophylactic hemodynamic support during non-emergent high-risk PCI).
Results
A total of 145 patients were implanted with Impella: 130 (89.7%) for CS and 15 (10.3%) for protected-PCI. Among CS patients, mean age was 61.6±12.9, 79.2% males. The prevalence of chronic heart failure (HF) was 26.1%, prior myocardial infarction (MI) 29% and myocardial revascularization 36.6%, chronic kidney disease (CKD) 18.3%. Among protected PCI patients, mean age was 73.4±8.7 years, 86.7% males. The prevalence of HF was 85.7%, prior MI 42.9%, myocardial revascularization 35.7%, CKD 57.1%. In CS group, the indications for Impella implantation were myocarditis in 8 (6.2%) patients, acute coronary syndromes in 77 (59.2%), periprocedural ventricular tachycardia ablation CS in 10 (7.7%), decompensated heart failure in 26.9%. Out of hospital cardiac arrest occurred in 35 (30.4%) patients, INTERMACS I class in 70 (59.3%), mean arterial pressure was 65.4±18.4 mmHg, serum lactate 6.7±5.5 mmol/l, at least 1 inotropic agent use in 73 (66.4%), mean LV EF 21.4±11,7%, right ventricular dysfunction in 53 (48.6%). The rate of device-related complications was not negligible in CS group: 18 (14.5%) patients had limb ischemia and vascular surgery was required in 14, 17 (14.3%) had access-site bleeding. A total of 42 (33.3%) had haemolysis, and 67 (56.8%) acute kidney injury (AKI), half of whom requiring renal replacement therapy. Escalation to other therapies was necessary in 43 cases. Conversely, in the protected-PCI group a low rate of AKI (n=4, 28.6%) and acute limb ischemia (n=1, 7.1%) was observed, whereas no cases of haemolysis nor need of escalation therapy were recorded. Mean Impella support was 135.5±167.21 days for CS group, 60.6±80 for protected-PCI group. Survival at 30 days was 60.33% for CS group and 92.9% for protected-PCI group. One-year all-cause death was 50% for CS group and 13.3% for protected-PCI group.
Conclusion
Mechanical circulatory support with Impella is associated with good outcomes and reasonable rates of complications in the protected-PCI group, whereas less favorable results were observed in CS population probably due to the greater severity of clinical presentation.
