Background and aim  This study aimed to assess right ventricular (RV) function during cardiogenic shock due to acute left ventricular (LV) failure, including during LV unloading with Impella CP and an added moderate dose of norepinephrine.    Methods  Cardiogenic shock was induced by injecting microspheres in the left main coronary artery in 18 adult Danish Landrace pigs. Conductance catheters were placed in both ventricles and pressure-volume loops were recorded simultaneously.    Results  Cardiogenic shock due to LV failure also impaired RV performance, which was partially restored during haemodynamic support with Impella CP, as demonstrated by changes in the ventriculo-arterial coupling (Ea/Ees ratio) (baseline (median [Q1;Q3]) 1.2 [1.1;1.6]), cardiogenic shock (3.0 [2.4;4.5]), Impella CP (2.1 [1.3;2.7]) (p Baseline vs CS  < 0.0001, p CS vs Impella  = 0.001)). Impella CP support also improved RV stroke work (SW) (cardiogenic shock 333 [263;530] vs Impella CP (830 [717;1121]) ( p  < 0.001). Moderate norepinephrine infusion concomitant with Impella CP further improved RV SW (Impella CP (818 [751;1065]) vs Impella CP+moderate norepinephrine (1231 [1142;1335]) ( p  = 0.01)) but at the expense of an increase in LV SW (Impella CP (858 [555;1392]) vs Impella CP+moderate norepinephrine (2101 [1024;2613]) ( p  = 0.04)).    Conclusions  The Impella CP provided efficient LV unloading, improved RV function, and end-organ perfusion. Moderate doses of norepinephrine during Impella support further improved RV function, but at the expense of an increase in SW of the failing LV.
