Arterial compliance may predict IABP response in post-MI shock; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does arterial compliance predict acute hemodynamic performance of intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in patients with post-infarction cardiogenic shock?
Arterial compliance, as estimated by reflection time index, is an independent predictor of acute hemodynamic response to intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation in patients with post-infarction cardiogenic shock.
Papaioannou et al. (2001) studied this question.
