Cardiogenic shock is a medical emergency resulting from inadequate blood flow to the body's organs due to the dysfunction of the heart. Signs of inadequate blood flow include low urine production (<30 mL/hour), cool arms and legs, and decreased level of consciousness.
Shock from blood loss occurs in about 1–2% of trauma cases. [34] Overall, up to one-third of people admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are in circulatory shock. [42] Of these, cardiogenic shock accounts for approximately 20%, hypovolemic about 20%, and septic shock about 60% of cases. [43]
Cardiogenic shock as a result of the heart being unable to adequately pump blood may develop, dependent on infarct size, and is most likely to occur within the days following an acute myocardial infarction. Cardiogenic shock is the largest cause of in-hospital mortality.
A complication that may occur in the acute setting soon after a myocardial infarction or in the weeks following is cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is defined as a hemodynamic state in which the heart cannot produce enough of a cardiac output to supply an adequate amount of oxygenated blood to the tissues of the body. [14]
RNCHAMPS (pronounced "R, N, champs") is a mnemonic acronym used to recall the types of shock.The mnemonic is alternately known as CRAMPS NH ("Cramps, New Hampshire") or NH-CRAMPS ("New Hampshire cramps"). [1]
Coronary Vasculature. Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) refers to the pressure gradient that drives coronary blood pressure.The heart's function is to perfuse blood to the body; however, the heart's own myocardium (heart muscle) must, itself, be supplied for its own muscle function.

Onset may be rapid (acute) or more gradual (subacute). [10] [2] Signs of cardiac tamponade typically include those of cardiogenic shock including shortness of breath, weakness, lightheadedness, cough [1] and those of Beck's triad e.g. jugular vein distention, quiet heart sounds and hypotension.
