Discussion

This review reveals how VA-ECMO affects hemodynamics and cardiac output, suggesting implications for patient management.

VA-ECMO significantly improves hemodynamics but increases left ventricular afterload, risking pulmonary congestion.
The pressure-volume loop analysis shows that VA-ECMO can reduce stroke volume and alter the cardiac output curve.
Application of the generalized circulatory equilibrium model clarifies how VA-ECMO affects both ventricles' function.
Effective patient selection and integration with unloading devices may enhance survival rates for those on VA-ECMO.

Otake et al. (2025) studied this question.
