Table 2. The cardiac function of the 4 survivors pre-ECMO, at the time of hospital discharge and at the follow-up visits.

Patients	Pre-ECMO		Hospital discharge		1 month after discharge		3 months afer discharge
	LVEF	LVFS	LVEF	LVFS	LVEF	LVFS	LVEF	LVFS
1	25	18	57	31	65	34	68	37
2	23	16	60	33	69	36	61	33
4	22	15	58	31	67	37	65	32
