description

Severe myocardial dysfunction and added afterload from the Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) arterial cannula may lead to significant rise in left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic and left atrial (LA) pressures. This may result in ischemia, lower likelihood of ventricular recovery and hence
