Articles On Cardiogenic Shock

The cardiogenic shock is a state of endorgan dysfunction, secondary to insufficient cardiac output despite adequate preload, as a result of left ventricular, right ventricular or biventricular dysfunction. Cardiogenic shock occurs in up to 10% of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and is the leading cause of death. Cardiogenic shock occurs in up to 10% of patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and is the leading cause of death [5]. The most common cause of cardiogenic shock during acute myocardial infarction is left ventricle failure (78.5%), followed by severe mitral regurgitation (6.9%), ventricular septal rupture (3.9%), right ventricle failure (2.8%), and cardiac tamponade (1.4%) n addition to signs and symptoms of AMI, patients may present with respiratory difficulties, diaphoresis, and cold and clammy extremities. Signs of end-organ damage may present as oliguria, altered mental status, and severe dyspnea. An S3 gallup on auscultation or a dyskinetic segment of the ventricle may be felt on palpation
