Cardiogenic Shock, Coronary Angiogram and Pulmonary

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

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. The patient was transported to the CCU for further medical optimization where a pulmonary artery catheter was placed.

Whenever there is tachycardia, I am skeptical of OMI unless it has led to severely compromised ejection fracction with cardiogenic shock. I suspect pulmonary edema, but we are not given information on presence of B-lines on bedside ultrasound, or CXR findings. Acute coronary occlusion and acute pulmonary edema can coexist.
