1. Hot off the press - #EHJACVC Issue 1/2021 tweetorial 🔽

The issue opens with an editorial by new EiC @VranckxPascal, highlighting the aims of the journal, presenting the new editorial board and thanking @cvrints, former EiC academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

2. Issue focus: #CardiogenicShock (CS) management.

In the new "Sciencepulse", chaired by @ingo_ahrens, David Morrow from @BrighamWomens and @thiele_holger discuss differences and commonalities in CS management in Europe and North America academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

3. In an editorial titled "Potential growth in cardiogenic shock research though an international registry collaboration", @seanvandiepen and Dave Morrow call for a Hub-of-Spokes model in #CardiogenicShock research academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

4. In the Spanish 5-center Red-Shock cohort, @m_rivaslasarte et al. provide external validation and comparison of the #CardShock and IABP-SHOCK II risk scores.
The authors demonstrate both were good predictors of in-hospital mortality in ACS-related CS academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

5. Jakob Josiassen et al. studied >1700 patients undergoing angiography for #CardiogenicShock due to AMI (#AMICS) and showed that an LM culprit was associated with the highest mortality. Patients with multivessel disease had similar prognoses academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

6. In a contemporary #AMICS population, Josiassen et al. could demonstrate that patients with predominant RV failure were associated with female sex and lower mortality as compared to LV failure.

7.What's the long-term prognosis after AMI- #CardiogenicShock? A markedly ⬆️ rate of #HeartFailure hospitalisation & 1-yr mortality is the paramount finding of this study.
But among 1-yr survivors of MI, remaining 5-yr mortality was similar with/without CS

8. Elena Collado et al. analysed the hospitalisation-related economic impact of patients with #CardiogenicShock in a reference centre.
Economic cost was significant, but with a low ratio of cost per life-year gained academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

9. In an IABP-SHOCK-II subanalysis, G Fürnau and @thiele_holger studied timing of IABP implantation.
They could show no outcome difference in #AMICS patients whether IABP was implanted pre or post pPCI academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

10. In this French analysis, Renaudier et al. showed that 14 of 150 VA-#ECMO patients suffered from acute mesenteric ischemia, with a 100% mortality. Risk factors included RRT and second shock, early enteral nutrition was protective academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

11. What is the prognostic relevance of pericardial effusion (PE) in #STEMI treated with pPCI?
In a large registry study from Italy, PE was not associated with mortality. Free wall rupture is rare but more frequent in patients with PE academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

12. The issue also features three excellent reviews and position papers:

The first one is a comprehensive educational review on cardiac tamponade - from pathophysiology and diagnosis to pericardiocentesis academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

#EHJACVC

13. The second position paper deals with the composition, structure and function of the #HeartTeam: a joint position paper of @escardio #ACVC_ESC #EAPCI @EACTS and @EACTA focusing on the patient with complex CAD requiring revascularisation academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

#EHJACVC

14. The third one is an excellent young #ACVC_ESC initiative evaluating the current status of #AcuteCardiovascularCare training in Europe:
Current status and needs for changes in critical care training: the voice of the young cardiologists academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…

#EHJACVC

15. The issue is completed by an important #COVID19 paper:
A study from Wuhan showed that peak levels of high sensitive troponin I and not admission levels predict in-hospital mortality in #COVID_19 patients with cardiac injury academic.oup.com/ehjacc/article…
