Mechanical Circulatory Support in Heart Failure—Second Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Acute or chronic heart failure is associated with high mortality, and therapeutic options might be limited due to the manifestation of the disease. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) systems are frequently used in therapy-refractory heart failure, and the development of new strategies is necessary to enhance survival. Nowadays, direct cardiac recovery with decompression of the right/left ventricle is gaining increased importance. Therefore, the simultaneous utilization of MCS systems is a novel promising option addressing circulatory support and cardiac recovery. Moreover, the optimization of goal-directed drug therapy is essential in patients with MCS systems. In this regard, the use of a multimodal therapeutic approach in patients with MCS is essential. However, a large group of patients with very limited potential for recovery require long-term mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to cardiac transplantation or as chronic support therapy.

This Topic will cover the following important aspects of MCS systems in heart failure:

• Concomitant use of MCS systems in heart failure;
• Type of left ventricular decompression;
• Long-term options in patients with limited potential for recovery;
• Adjunctive medical therapy during MCS use;
• Strategies for short-term systems (bridge-to-recovery, bridge-to-bridge, bridge-to-decision).

Research articles, review articles, case reports, and communications are welcome to be submitted to this Topic.
