Brief Summary
Patients with anterior wall AMI treated by PCI will undergo, after successful revascularization of the infarct artery, measurement of the left ventricular pressure, and femoral angiogram. Patients with elevated LV pressure and adequate femoral access will be randomized to standard pharmacological treatment of AMI vs. mechanical unloading by Impella-CP (on top of the standard treatment) for 36-48 hours. LV unloading will be guided by measurement of PCWP by Swan-Ganz catheter. On the day 4-7, and at 3 months after the AMI, the patients will undergo SPECT and 3D-echocardiography to assess ventricular remodeling and extent of the post-infarct scar. The patients will be followed for at least 12 months for the occurrence of heart failure and adverse cardiovascular events. The study will test the hypothesis, whether the LV mechanical unloading after PCI will attenuate post-infarct scar and cardiac remodeling.

Study Arms (2)
Mechanical unloading
ACTIVE COMPARATORMechanical unloading by Impella-CP for 36-48 hours, on top of the standard treatment
Standard care
NO INTERVENTIONStandard treatment of AMI after PCI according to guidelines.
Interventions
The patients will receive Impella-CP for 36-48 hours. The pump speed and LV unloading will be guided by PCWP (Swan-Ganz catheter)
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- large anterior wall AMI with estimated ischemia of \<24h
- at risk of the beginning of cardiogenic shock (SCAI A/B)
- blood pressure \<160/100 mmHg
- no previous IM based on the patient's history
- no previously known LV systolic dysfunction
- assumed new LV dysfunction documented by ECHO or LVG (LVEF \< 45%)
- infarct culprit lesion at the proximal LAD, LMCA or equivalent, with TIMI \<= 2 flow
- LV end-diastolic pressure of \>= 18 mmHg measured invasively
You may not qualify if:
- history of chronic LV dysfunction
