Aortic valve Cardiogenic Shock Circulation

The VSR is what is causing the cardiogenic shock! Left ventricular afterload reduction is essential to decrease the trans-se ptal pressure gradient and thus decrease shunt volume, making a larger proportion of the blood flow from the left ventricle through the aortic valve.

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. If you see this, you should Doppler the valve. Fundamentally, cardiogenic shock is an issue of decreased cardiac output.

Whenever there is tachycardia, I am skeptical of OMI unless it has led to severely compromised ejection fracction with cardiogenic shock. The patient was finally weaned to room air on day 4 and taken for a CT scan to evaluate the possibility of aortic valve replacement. We certainly know that there is hypoxia.
