JOIN US - DECEMBER JOURNAL CLUB! 🗓️Thu, 12/4 ⏰5pm ET 🔗bit.ly/3LFD7CI 📰PAPO-Flow Study - Effect of ECMO Flow Variations on Pulmonary Capillary Wedge Pressure in Patients with Cardiogenic Shock. We are very excited to discuss this paper with SoCCC President, @JasonKatzMD from NYU Langone Health and Cardiology Fellow, @DrKevinBuda from Minneapolis Heart Institute and Hennepin Healthcare. They will offer their perspectives on the study results and address questions. Article located here: jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…



@dpot29 @CCCEnthusiasts @SocietyOfCCC @DrKevinBuda @aniket_rali @JasonKatzMD @TrinaAugustinMD This can only be true if the LV function was relatively normal —in a failing LV (the reason for the ECMO), almost always the aortic valve stops moving bc LV cannot pump against 4-5LPM of retro flow…am I missing something—hence need to decompress!?!




🚨Can V-A ECMO unload?🚨 Our recent📰 in @JCardFail 👉authors.elsevier.com/a/1m53v3pkRzlS… ✅ Venous drainage ↓ transpulmonary flow → ↓ LV preload ✅ Often ↓ inotropes/pressors → ↓ myocardial O₂ demand ✅ Human data show reduced LV filling pressures & stroke work at higher flows 💡 Are we overestimating the afterload penalty of ECMO in cardiogenic shock? Ideas & critiques welcome! #CardioTwitter #ECMO #CardiacCriticalCare #CardiogenicShock #FOAMcc #MedEd @MayoClinicCCM @MayoClinic @dpot29
