The study aims to examine the prognostic role of non-invasive myocardial work in veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy patients. Subjects with cardiogenic shock regardless of etiology will be enrolled 48-72 hours after the initiation of mechanical circulatory support. It is hypothesized that non-invasive myocardial work may be an independent prognosticator of the outcome.
