Cost-Effectiveness
Attending to the fact that cardiogenic shock is a lethal condition, with a high mortality rate, if not diagnosed early and treatment started in the shortest time-span possible, an aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach are of uttermost importance, therefore justifying the costs involved in the procedures. An evidence of the effectiveness of timely and adequate diagnosis and treatment of cardiogenic shock is the important decrease in its mortality rate seen since mid 1970's.
