Biventricular unloading and rhythm control leading to biventricular recovery: a case report
MCS provides critical time to investigate the underlying cause of CS and assess the potential for recovery. This case illustrates how MCS can be both life-saving and a platform for ventricular unloading and neurohormonal optimization. Although full recovery is rare in severe cases, such strategies may improve cardiac function and enable successful weaning from support.
