Haemodynamic simulation and the effect of early left ventricular unloading in pre ‐shock acute coronary syndrome

ConclusionsThe simulation illustrates how temporary circulatory support with an Impella microaxial pump can stabilize haemodynamics and allow for a safe procedure in an unstable patient. Using computer simulation of haemodynamics to understand changes in haemodynamics when performing interventions in unstable patients might help to properly select a suitable support device if needed.
