Early temporary ventricular assist device intervention improves survival in fulminant myocarditis with cardiogenic shock: experience from a single centre and national cohort
AFM with CS often rapidly progresses to multi-organ failure. While ECMO provides initial circulatory support, survival remains poor once initiated. Early transition from ECMO to VAD is critical in improving survival for AFM patients with CS, particularly those receiving ECPR.
