The end point of any mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is to restore adequacy of perfusion in order to prevent organ damage or to restore normal organ function when damage is already commenced. Reduction of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, cardiac wall tension, and pulmonary congestion, together with a modulation of the neurohormonal response to acute and chronic heart failure, like endogenous catecholamine, renin-angiotensin system, ANP, and cytokine release, are all aims of mechanical circulatory support.

Abstract

The end point of any mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is to restore adequacy of perfusion in order to prevent organ damage or to restore normal organ function when damage is already commenced. Reduction of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, cardiac wall tension, and pulmonary congestion, together with a modulation of the neurohormonal response to acute and chronic heart failure, like endogenous catecholamine, renin-angiotensin system, ANP, and cytokine release, are all aims of mechanical circulatory support.
