Popis:	Cardiogenic shock is one of the main concerns for cardiologists, especially heart failure specialists, and in the majority of cases, the underlying mechanism is an extensive acute myocardial infarction. Despite various interventional and therapeutic advancements in the management of these patients, the mortality and morbidity of these patients remain high and most noninvasive therapies are considered ineffective. Urgent revascularization and application of short-term mechanical circulatory support devices and early referral to heart transplant centers may improve outcomes. Herein we describe a 50-year-old patient presenting with cardiogenic shock, who was successfully treated by VA-ECMO and urgent heart transplant and experienced COVID-19 infection post-transplant.
