2 Pathophysiology When a critical mass of LV is necrotic and fails to pump, stoke volume and CO falls Myocardial and coronary perfusion are compromised causing tachycardia and hypotension Increased LVEDP further decreases coronary perfusion Increase LV wall stress increases myocardial oxygen demand Lactic acidosis worsens myocardial performance Hollenberg Ann Int Med 1999; 131:47-99

3 Reducing the Work of the Heart Muscle Ventricular Unloading 3 PV Loop of the Cardiac Cycle Work = Pressure x Volume Pressure C B Ventricular Work = Area of PV Loop Unloading Work = Reducing Area of PV Loop D A Volume A. End Diastole Mitral Valve Closure B. Aortic Valve Opening C. End Systole - Aortic Valve Closure D. Mitral Valve Opening

4 Shock Steps to be followed STABILIZE the patient as rapidly as possible Pressors, fluids, WHATEVER to prevent the downward spiral Hemodynamic support!! Selection based upon risk-benefit assessment Revascularization as appropriate Make sure the revascularization targets the lesion(s) that are causing the shock

5 Cardiac Power Is The Most Important Mortality Predictor in the SHOCK Trial Estimated In-hospital Mortality (%) Cardiac Power = (Mean Arterial Pressure x Cardiac Output) Cardiac Power Output Finke et al JACC 2004; 44:340

6 Why are hemodynamics so essential? Catheters can obstruct native aorto-ostial flow (especially larger catheters). Wires, balloons, stents, devices can obstruct flow and when inflated by definition are producing ischemia Contrast does not contain hemoglobin and is a myocardial depressant Patient smay have acute or longstanding LV dysfuction and CHF Adverse hemodynamics will make it difficult to do the case and can worsen short and long term outcomes ignore them at your peril..

25 FDA Indications for Use Impella 2.5 The Impella 2.5 is a temporary ( 6 hours) ventricular support device indicated for use during high risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed in elective or urgent, hemodynamically stable patients with severe coronary artery disease and depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, when a heart team, including a cardiac surgeon, has determined high risk PCI is the appropriate therapeutic option. Use of the Impella 2.5 in these patients may prevent hemodynamic instability which can result from repeat episodes of reversible myocardial ischemia that occur during planned temporary coronary occlusions and may reduce peri- and post-procedural adverse events. The product labeling allows for the clinical decision to leave Impella 2.5 in place beyond the intended duration of <6 hours due to unforeseen circumstances.

26 Open Questions in Hemodynamic Support How much support is necessary? What is the role of IABP / Do we believe IABP SHOCK II? Which patients should get upfront treatment with an LVAD? What is the optimal use for Impella LVAD support? Relevance of cost/complications vs. benefit of active LVADs How do we manage biventricular failure?
