Understanding heart rhythm disorders in patients on ECMO for severe heart failure

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the occurrence and outcomes of cardiac rhythm disorders, particularly atrial fibrillation, in patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) for refractory cardiogenic shock. Data will be collected from intensive care units, focusing on both short-term and long-term prognosis of these arrhythmias. The study will utilize 12-lead electrocardiograms to document episodes of atrial fibrillation and will follow up with patients via phone calls to assess their vital status after one year. The findings will help clarify the incidence and complications associated with rhythm disorders in this critical patient population.
