As @TimBalthazar already mentioned, great to get the support from my partner in crime, Mr. Bicycle echo himself @VerwerftJan! Fantastic scientific collaborator & even greater friend!
@teddyhla@Abiomed@TimBalthazar Just impella. By startup of impella noradrrnaline could be easily weaned. No other changes, no inotropes, no volume shift. The evolution on the graphic is jusr a timespan of two hours
Unloading @Abiomed impella 5.5
Instantaneous increase in CO, decreased LVEDP
BUT...
Beware RV as abrupt increase in CO+ Venous Return, with simultaneous decrease in LV/septal contraction can compromise RV as shown by end of curves (CVP up, PA down) @TimBalthazar
More and more data suggest the crucial role of #GDMT on @abiomed Impella to modify heart recovery. Thankful to present @UZBrussel data in London as one of the first teams that developed a dedicated protocol leading to >75% of the patients on GDMT @MarcNoppen@FH_Verbrugge@Cosyns
Acetazolamide or not? Thats the question! For sure according to @FH_Verbrugge : more efficient decongestion, less diuretic induced alkalosis and better loss of sodium! Not a treatment but preventive for diuretic resistence!
Excellent presentation at ACVC2024 in Athens!

Happy to see our paper now published in the latest edition of @ESC_Journals ACVC. If you are interested in Impella we offer a practical approach to positional problems. Thanks to all co-authors @drnvanmieghem@FH_Verbrugge@RaesMatthias@EHJACVCEiC https://t.co/EO7yt9XRL7
@UZBrussel first Belgian Propella 5.5 Impella+Protek duo on Colibri BiVAD for recovery after AMI shock. So happy for this patient and to progress our shock program thanks to an amazing team of cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, cardiac anesthesiologist, perfusionists, nurses.
Attending the first European cardiogenic shock symposium @Brussels. Inspiring topics and brilliant faculty! The cardio fellows of @HeartBrussels would like to thank the organizing committee for setting up this great event! @FH_Verbrugge@TimBalthazar@RaesMatthias
