Definition
It is a state of end-organ hypoperfusion due cardiac failure leading to hemodynamic changes:
- SBP < 80 mmHg or MAP < 30 mmHg than baseline
- Cardiac index ( CI ) < 1.8 L.Min-1·M-2 without vasopressors support or CI 2.0 to 2.2 L.Min-1·M-2 with vasopressors support.
- Elevated filling pressures LVEDP > 18 mmHg, RVEDP > 10 mmHg
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Common Causes
- Cardiogenic shock
- Pump problems MI with LV failure (the most common cause), cardiomyopathy post-MI, ventricular septal rupture, contained free wall rupture, and papillary muscle rupture.
- Mechanical (e.g. cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax), aortic stenosis, which is considered as obstructive shock too.
- Electrical eg VT or AF or most fundamentally VF
