Cardiogenic shock is related to decreased cardiac output as a result of myocardial pump failure

Cardiogenic shock is related to decreased cardiac output as a result of myocardial pump failure that occurs most commonly after myocardial infarction but also can occur from myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, and saddle embolism. Patients who suffer a major MI can have ruptures in the injured tissue wall, putting the patient at risk for hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade, resulting in cardiogenic shock. Clinical manifestations of cardiogenic shock include tachycardia, cold-clammy skin, decreased urine output, altered mental status, distended jugular veins, shortness of breath, and, in later stages, hypertension. Early treatment is crucial in preventing organ damage and death.
