Description:

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study on the use of the microaxial flow pump (Impella) in treating older patients with cardiogenic shock following a myocardial infarction. The findings suggest that while the Impella pump can reduce mortality in younger patients, its effectiveness diminishes in those over 77, highlighting the need for age-based patient selection to optimize outcomes in this complex condition.
