1/We should consider the additive benefits of #GDMT during MCS for #Cardshock. Recently, we looked at the effect of implementing a protocol for aggressive GDMT uptitration during @jjmt_heartrecov Impella support. There is a free link (only 50 first) to the publication in the end

Congratulations to @EduardArgudo and the @vallhebron #ECPR team for winning the @EuroELSO cannulation cup. I was surprised by the floppy wires but impressed with their skill. Floppy vs stiff wire for ECPR?


The 2025 @EuroELSO cannulation cup winners are Barcelona! @ECMOHUVH @EduardArgudo @mariamtnezm Thank you to all the teams for sharing their experience in cannulation and ECPR teamwork!
