shock, cardiogenic, cardiogenic shock, disease state, heart is damaged enough that it is unable to supply sufficient blood, shock occurs whenever the heart is unable to pump enough blood, the needs, cardiogenic shock, disorders, the heart muscle, valves, heart's electrical conduction system, related disorders include heart attack, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, rupture, the heart, abnormal heart rhythms, heart valve disorders, leaky valves, rapid pulse, pulse weak, thready, rapid breathing, anxiety, nervousness, skin, feel cool to touch, weakness, lethargy, fatigue, decreased mental status, loss of alertness, loss of ability to concentrate, restlessness, agitation, confusion, coma, skin color pale, mottled, profuse sweating, moist skin, decreased urine output, none, poor capillary refill, an examination, reveal low blood pressure, less than 90 systolic, blood pressure, drop more than 10 points, the patient stands up after lying, orthostatic hypotension, pulse weak, absent, to diagnose cardiogenic shock, a catheter, tube, in the pulmonary artery, measurements often indicate that blood is backing up, lungs, heart has poor pumping function, tests used in patients, cardiogenic shock, electrocardiogram, coronary angiography, echocardiogram, nuclear scans, tests recommended, the heart's failure to function properly, laboratory tests, cbc, type, cross-match blood, transfusion, arterial blood gas, blood chemistry, chem-7, chem-20, electrolytes, cardiac enzymes, cardiogenic shock, medical emergency! treatment, hospitalization, goal of treatment, save the patient's life, treat the underlying cause of shock, dopamine, dobutamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, amrinone, medications required to increase blood pressure, heart functioning, pain medicine given, bed rest is recommended to reduce demands on the heart, oxygen reduces the workload, the heart by reducing tissue demands, blood flow, intravenous fluids, blood, blood products, treatments of shock, cardiac pacing, pacemaker, heart monitoring, hemodynamic monitoring, to guide treatment, intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation, iabp, to improve heart, blood vessel, cardiovascular, function, surgical repair, performed, feasible, balloon angioplasty, ptca, an alternative to surgery approximately 80% of cases of cardiogenic shock, fatal, kidney damage, brain damage, liver damage, cardiogenic shock, medical emergency, risk reduced by prompt, aggressive treatment of related disorders.
