Shock
Cardiogenic Shock
Causes
- Predominant LV Failure > Acute Severe MR > VSD > Isolated RV Shock > Tamponade/rupture
Pathophysiology
Effect of Hypotension
- Flow in normal coronary:
Regulated by microvascular resistance
Coronary flow may be preserved at AO pressures as low as 50 mm Hg
- In coronary vessel with critical stenosis:
Vasodilator reserve of microvascular bed is exhausted
Decrease in AO pressure => Coronary hypoperfusion
- Hypotension + increase LVEDP and critical stenosis -> Myocardial Hypoperfusion -> LV dysfunction -> Systemic lactic acidosis -> Impairment of non-ischemic myocardium -> worsening hypotension.
Risk Factors
- Age > 65, Female, Large infarction, Anterior infarction
- Prior infarction, DM, Prior HTN
Outcomes
- ST pattern:
15-30 % -> Non-ST elevation MI, Mortality: 77%
70-85% -> ST elevations MI/ New LBBB, Mortality: 53-63%
- Historic mortality 60-80%
-
Management
- Figure out the volume status, Swan-Ganz if in doubt
- Respiratory status
- Afterload reduction
- Maintain AV synchrony: Don’t tolerate AF, Dual chamber pacing if A-V block present
- Correct Acid-Base disturbances
- Maintain BP (Pressors or --> IABP)

Types
- Cardiogenic – lowering of cardiac input
- Hypovolemic – lowering of blood volume
- Distributive – vascular.
- Obturative – blood flow obstruction. Heart tamponade.
- life-threatening state of insuficient blood perfusion to tissues which results in deterioration of tissue function
