Ramp Test protocol: A ramp test will be performed 24 h after Impella CP® implantation according to the following protocol.
| Speed | Flow | Mean BP | HR | PCWP | Mean PA | PAO2 | Lactate | CI | MR | LVEDD | LVESD | LVEF | RVEDD |

| P2 |
BP = Blood pressure; HR = heart rate; PCWP = Pulmonary, capillary wedge pressure; PA = Pulmonary artery; CI = Cardiac index; LVEDD = Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, LVESD = Left ventricular end-systolic diameter; LVEF = Left ventricular ejection fraction; RVEDD= Right ventricular end-diastolic diameter; T = Impella flow level, MR = Mitral regurgitation.
