Overview
Differential Diagnosis
Patients who present with signs and symptoms of hypoperfusion following a diagnosed or suspected myocardial infarction, are commonly suffering a cardiogenic shock as a complication of the MI. However, other clinical scenarios may present similarly. These may be classified in two categories, according to the mechanism at its genesis:
- 1. Acute myocardial infarction with shock with non-cardiac etiology
- sepsis from indwelling catheter
- hypovolemia following overaggressive diuresis
- 2. Cardiovascular disease in which the acute myocardial infarction is not the primary problem
