I'm curious about the function of ECMO and how it interacts with the heart. Specifically, I want to know if a person's heart continues to beat when they are on ECMO support.

ECMO treatment is a procedure where the heart and lungs are supported by a machine.

However, the workload of the heart is reduced because the ECMO machine takes over much of the pumping.

This allows the heart to rest and recover while still providing the body with necessary blood flow and oxygen.
