Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Cases in which VA-ECMO was introduced to provide circulatory support for cardiogenic shock. Patients with cardiogenic shock with a background of acute myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy or myocarditis.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Cases under 18 years of age. Cases of cardiac arrest in which there is a strong concern of hypoxic encephalopathy. (When any of the following (1) to (3) applies.) (1) Cases which the initial waveform is asystole. (2) Cases in which it takes more than 20 minutes from cardiac arrest to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) or introduction of VA-ECMO (3) Cases in which the pupillary reflex has disappeared. Cases with active bleeding and uncontrolled haemostasis or thrombosis at the time of enrolment. Cases in which withdrawal from VA-ECMO is already expected at the time of inclusion. Cases of cardiogenic shock due to septic cardiomyopathy. Cases of cardiomyopathy in the postpartum period. Perioperative cardiac surgery with open heart surgery. Cases of acute and chronic pulmonary thromboembolism and pulmonary hypertensive crisis. Heparin induced thrombocytopenia. Cases other than those listed above, where the clinician considers it inappropriate to allocate anticoagulant therapy, should be excluded.
