Abstract

Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening medical condition resulting from an inadequate circulation of blood due to primary failure of the ventricles of the heart to function effectively. The most common cause of cardiogenic shock is pump failure due to extensive myocardial infarction. Early revascularization is recommended. Chest X-ray, EKG, and cardiac biomarkers are helpful for initial diagnosis. Vasopressors and inotropes often required, however, should be used in the lowest amount. Mechanical supports such as intra-aortic balloon pump, left ventricular assist devices, and extracorporeal life support can be considered.
