Abstract
Like all forms of shock, cardiogenic shock (CS) is a life-threatening condition of decreased blood circulation that ultimately causes systemic hypoperfusion and end-organ failure. Unlike other forms of shock, however, CS is characterized by failure of the heart itself. This chapter describes CS, including its causes and diagnosis, and provides a brief overview of management.
