Heart Transplantation Under Mechanical Circulatory Support for Acute Fulminant Myocarditis With Cardiogenic Shock

Mechanical circulatory support in patients with acute myocarditis proved to be effective. Approximately one half of all adult patients in this study experienced myocardium recovery under mechanical support, with only 5% undergoing a successful heart transplantation. In terms of patients who survived after heart transplantation, the mid-term and long-term outcomes are favorable.
