May support ECMO consideration in pediatric fulminant myocarditis; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation.
Does ECMO reduce the time to rhythm recovery in children with acute fulminant myocarditis and hemodynamic compromise arrhythmia?
Timely use of ECMO in children with acute fulminant myocarditis and hemodynamic compromise arrhythmia significantly shortens the time to recapture sinus rhythm.
Lin et al. (2016) studied this question.
