==Overview==
==Overview==
Attending to the catastrophic [[outcome]] of cardiogenic shock in a very short time span, its [[diagnosis]] must be reached as early as possible in order for proper [[therapy]] to be started. This period until [[diagnosis]] and [[therapy|treatment]] initiation is particularly important in the case of cardiogenic shock since the [[mortality rate]] of this condition complicating acute-[[MI]] is very high, along with the fact that the ability to revert the damage caused, through [[reperfusion]] techniques, declines considerably with [[diagnostic]] delays. Therefore and due to the unstable state of these patients, the [[diagnostic]] evaluations are usually performed as supportive measures are initiated. The [[diagnostic]] measures should start with the proper history and [[physical examination]], including [[blood pressure]] beasurements, followed by an [[EKG]], [[chest x-ray]] and collection of [[blood]] samples for evaluation. The physician should have in mind the common features of [[shock]], irrespective of the type of [[shock]], in order to avoid delays in the [[diagnosis]]. Although not all [[shock]] patients present in the same way, these features include: abnormal [[mental status]], [[cool extremities]], [[clammy skin]], manifestations of [[hypoperfusion]], such as [[hypotension]] and [[oliguria]], as well as evidence of [[metabolic acidosis]] on the [[blood]] results.<ref>{{Cite book  | last1 = Longo | first1 = Dan L.

[[Physical examination]] findings in patients with [[cardiogenic shock]] include the following: [[Altered mental status]], [[cyanosis]], cold and clammy skin, mottled extremities [[Peripheral pulses]] are [[faint]], rapid and sometimes irregular if there is an underlying [[arrhythmia]], [[Jugular venous distension]], Diminished heart sounds, S3 or S4, may be present, [[murmurs]] in the presence of valvular disorders such as [[mitral regurgitation]] or [[aortic stenosis]], [[Pulmonary vascular congestion]] may be associated with [[rales]] [[Peripheral edema]] may be present in the setting of [[fluid overload]].

Overview

Physical examination findings in patients with cardiogenic shock include the following: Altered mental status, cyanosis, cold and clammy skin, mottled extremities Peripheral pulses are faint, rapid and sometimes irregular if there is an underlying arrhythmia, Jugular venous distension, Diminished heart sounds, S3 or S4, may be present, murmurs in the presence of valvular disorders such as mitral regurgitation or aortic stenosis, Pulmonary vascular congestion may be associated with rales Peripheral edema may be present in the setting of fluid overload.

Physical Examination

  • Vital Signs
  1. New or worsening hypotension with narrow pulse pressure. However, due to increased SVR, blood pressure may be normal
  2. Tachycardia (90-110 beats/min) with a weak pulse or bradycardia if in the presence of high-grade heart block
  • Skin
  1. Cyanosis, cool and clammy skin
  2. Diaphoresis
  • Neck
  1. Distended jugular veins due to increased jugular venous pressure
  • Heart
  1. Soft S1
  2. S3 gallop
  3. Systolic murmurs if in the presence of mechanical complications, such as mitral regurgitation or ventricle septal rupture:
  • Lungs
  1. Tachypnea due to sympathetic nervous system stimulation by stretch receptors and as compensation for metabolic acidosis
  2. Cheyne-Stokes respiration
  3. Respiratory distress due to pulmonary edema from insufficient pumping of the heart, leading to fluid accumulation
  4. Rales on auscultation, commonly in left ventricle failure
  • Genitourinary
  1. Oliguria (usually less than 30 mL/h) due insufficient renal perfusion


  1. Hypotension
  2. Jugular venous distention
  3. Clear lung sounds
There may also be findings of:[9]
  1. Tricuspid regurgitation
  2. Right ventricle gallop
  3. Atrio-ventricular block
  4. Kussmaul's sign, often present in constrictive pericarditis
  5. Pulsus paradoxus with elevation and equalization of central venous pressure, pulmonary artery diastolic pressure, Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and right ventricular systolic pressure
The presence of increased JVP and Kussmaul's sign together, is both specific and sensitive for the diagnosis of right ventricle myocardial infarction.


  1. Hypotension
  2. Jugular Venous Distension
  3. Softened heart sounds
  4. Pulsus paradoxus
