Cardiogenic Shock, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft and Echocardiogram

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

A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. The patient was transported to the CCU for further medical optimization where a pulmonary artery catheter was placed. Authors' commentary: Cardiogenic shock in the setting of severe aortic stenosis.

Whenever there is tachycardia, I am skeptical of OMI unless it has led to severely compromised ejection fracction with cardiogenic shock. The patient was again sent home with a plan for surgical aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting to the PDA. We certainly know that there is hypoxia.
