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 [[medical history|history]] and [[physical examination]], including [[blood pressure]] measurement, followed by an [[EKG]], [[echocardiography]], [[chest x-ray]] and collection of [[blood]] samples for evaluation. The physician should keep 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.

Cardiogenic shock is the presence of tissue hypoperfusion secondary to decreased [[cardiac output]] in the context of adequate intravascular volume.
