💉 Pump, 📉 Pressure, ⚡ Power: Inside the STEMI Shock Solution

New Insights from the DanGer Shock Trial! 🫀💡

Can early left ventricular unloading with a microaxial flow pump (mAFP) save lives in STEMI-related cardiogenic shock?

This compelling substudy shows that mAFP not only boosts cardiac output and power, but also reduces pulmonary pressures—all while using less pharmacologic support. 📉💊

🧪 Native CO improved steadily over 48 hours, hinting at myocardial recovery.

📊 PAC data gives us a front-row seat to the physiology behind the survival curves.

🔬 The editorial dives deeper: timing, technique, and future questions.
