Cardiogenic shock
From Healthscout's partner site on heart disease, MyHeartCentral.com ...
Cardiogenic shock is a physiologic state in which inadequate tissue perfusion results from cardiac dysfunction, most commonly following acute myocardial infarction (MI).
Cardiogenic shock is a state in which the heart has been damaged so much that it is unable to supply enough blood to the organs of the body.

How Is Cardiogenic Shock Treated?
Cardiogenic shock is life threatening and requires emergency medical treatment. The condition usually is diagnosed after a person has been admitted to a hospital for a heart attack.
Cardiogenic shock is the failure of your heart to pump enough blood to your major organs to support life.
What is going on in the body?
Cardiogenic shock occurs when the heart is severely damaged by heart attack or heart failure.
Cardiogenic shock happens when the heart is damaged and unable to supply sufficient blood to the body. This can be the end result of a heart attack or congestive heart failure.
Cardiogenic Shock
Definition
Cardiogenic shock is a very serious condition in which multiple organ systems begin to fail because the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the body. Cardiogenic shock occurs with severe heart failure.

Cardiogenic shock
Definition
Shock is a life- threatening condition that occurs when the body is not getting enough blood flow. This can damage multiple organs. Shock requires IMMEDIATE medical treatment and can get worse very rapidly.

Cardiogenic shock is a result of a weakened heart that is unable to pump blood as efficiently as it once did. Cardiogenic shock commonly occurs after a massive heart attack.
Cardiogenic shock can be caused by any disease, or event, which prevents the heart muscle from pumping strongly and consistently enough to circulate the blood normally.

Cardiogenic shock: In cardiogenic shock, structural disorders (eg, valvular dysfunction, septal rupture) are repaired surgically.
Cardiogenic Shock. A procedure called intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) can help patients with cardiogenic shock when used in combination with thrombolytic therapy.

Sympathomimetic medications act similarly to the sympathetic nervous system and are used when CHF is severe, such as in cardiogenic shock. They treat CHF by increasing the force of the heart's contraction.

Other tests, depending on the type of shock suspected - for example, diagnosis of cardiogenic shock may involve various tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG).

Specific treatment depends on the type of shock, but could include: ...
Coronary angioplasty is generally only done in specialist centres. It should be considered if a person can't receive thrombolytic medicine for medical reasons or has a sustained low blood pressure (cardiogenic shock).
