Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This is a prospective clinical study which is observational. The aims of the study are:
* To extensively describe the left ventricular unloading strategy during veno-arterial extracorporeal life support in a large prospective international cohort, providing detailed information on indications, timing, type and modality among a wide spectrum of clinical conditions
* To compare different strategies to unload the left ventricular in terms of efficacy and outcomes
* To provide a common definition of left ventricular overload by collecting clinical, hemodynamic data and radiological information before and after unloading.
Demographics, clinical, instrumental and laboratory data prior and post implantation of veno-arterial extracorporeal life support will be collected. No interventions on top on the ones necessary as a standard of care will be taken.
