Left heart catheterization revealed proximal left main, severe ostial left anterior descending artery disease of 70%, and moderate right coronary artery disease (Figure 1).
Graphic trend of urine output (blue line), serum lactate (red line), and total vasopressor requirement (gray bars) at six-hour intervals from Impella deployment. *Total vasopressor requirement expressed in mcg/kg/min, as calculated by norepinephrine dose equivalence.
