Abstract:

Fulminant myocarditis（FM）is a relatively rare but serious clinical syndrome. It usually accom⁃ panied by severe hemodynamic changes.It presents with as rapid onset hypotension，cardiogenic shock，or even death. currently，there is no specific drug treatment. Mechanical circulatory support（MCS）has become a key mea⁃ sure to help patients with explosive myocarditis through the acute phase，as it can replace part of the heart and/or lung functions，maintain stable circulation. As a treatment method for explosive myocarditis，Mechanical circulatory support has become a mature technology in abroad，but it has been developed relatively late and experience is rela⁃ tively lackingin china. This article reviews the research progress of mechanical circulatory support in the application of fulminant myocarditis.
