✨Key editorial JCF–I! “Sex Differences in Cardiogenic Shock Supported w/ VA-ECMO” Highlights:
🚺Women often present sicker + receive ECMO later
🚫Less likely to receive LV venting
⚖️Despite this, survival = comparable to men
📈Urgent need to address systemic inequities in shock care

📊New study explores how 🌍Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) & Social Deprivation Index (SDI) impact HF hospitalizations.

🏥Counties with higher social vulnerability & deprivation → ⬆️ HFH rates.

SVI & SDI could help identify vulnerable populations!

📊 In JCF–I:

VA-ECMO in cardiogenic shock: are sex differences clinically meaningful?
👩‍⚕️ Women had:
✅ Less RRT
✅ More favorable SAVE scores
📉 But similar in-hospital mortality to men
This data may inform personalized treatment strategies in mechanical circulatory support.

RRT use in CICU patients with cardiogenic shock = higher in-hospital & 1-year mortality.

🚨 CRRT patients:
📉 56% in-hospital mortality
📉 <30% 1-year survival
⚠️ Only 1 in 5 survive 1 year free from dialysis

This study underscores the prognostic weight of AKI and RRT modality.

What drives patients with ATTR-CM and families to pursue genetic testing? 🧬

✨ Provider trust & duty to family were top motivators
🧠 Patients wanted more info on risks, esp. insurance
📉 Testing was easy, but emotionally taxing
🤝Clear need for better consent, counseling & support.
