  • Descrição: Abstract Critical illness associated with cardiac pump failure results in reduced tissue perfusion in all organs and occurs in various conditions such as sepsis, cardiogenic shock and heart failure. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices can be used to maintain organ perfusion in patients with cardiogenic shock and decompensated chronic heart failure. However, correction of global hemodynamic parameters by MCS do not always cause a parallel improvement in microcirculatory perfusion and oxygenation of the organ systems, a condition referred to as a loss of hemodynamic coherence between macro- and microcirculation. In this paper we review the literature describing hemodynamic coherence or loss there in occurring during MCS of the heart. Using Embase, Medline Cochrane, Web-of-science and Google scholar we analysed the literature the response of micro- and macrocirculation to MCS of the heart in critical illness. The characteristics of patients, MCS devices and micro- and macrocirculatory parameters were very heterogenic. Short-term MCS studies (78%) described the effects of intra-aortic balloon pumps (IABP) on the micro- and macrocirculation. Improvement in microcirculation (MC), observed by hand held microscopy (OPS, SDF and CytocamIDF imaging) in line with restored macrocirculation was found in respectively in 44 % and 40% of the studies of short- and long-term MCS. In only 6 out of 14 studies, hemodynamic coherence was described. It is concluded that more studies using direct visualisation of the microcirculation in short- and long-term MCS using hand held microscopy, is needed, preferably in randomized controlled studies, to identify the presence and clinical significance of hemodynamic coherence In doing so it is anticipated that patients who will benefit from treatment by mechanical heart support to ensure adequate organ perfusion can be better identified.
