There are various types of MCS, and patients with CS typically require devices that are either short-term (< 15 days) or intermediate-term (15–30 days). When choosing the device the underlying cause of CS, as well as the presence or absence of concomitant conditions such as failed ventricle, respiratory failure, and the intended purpose of the support should be taken into consideration. Patients with MCS require the comprehensive care indicated in complex critically ill patients with multiorgan dysfunction, with an emphasis on device monitoring and control.

In addition, some applications identify cardiac structures, perform planimetry of the Doppler wave, and measure the size of vessels, which is especially useful in hemodynamic monitoring and continuous recording. The \"strain\" and \"strain rate\" parameters evaluate ventricular function, while \"auto strain\" automates its calculation from bedside images.
