Figure 1
Physical findings suggestive of the ventricle primarily involved in cardiogenic shock. Often pro‐inflammatory states induced by shock physiology causes a blunted performance of the less affected side. Both sides often contribute to the clinical presentation and physical exam findings.

ECG and coronary angiogram of a 53‐year‐old male who presented following sudden onset of diaphoresis, nausea, and syncope. The patient was profoundly hypotensive on arrival and an ECG revealed complete atrioventricular dissociation with junctional bradycardia. Coronary angiography demonstrated (A) a high‐grade proximal LAD stenosis with Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 2 flow and (B) a total thrombotic proximal right coronary artery (RCA) occlusion. An Impella 2.5 was inserted for left ventricular support and PCI to the LAD was performed with a drug eluting stent. He recovered, the Impella was discontinued, and he was discharged. LAD indicates left anterior descending; PCI, percutaneous intervention.
