Treatment of Cardiogenic Shock

  • Chapter
Controversy in Cardiology

Abstract

In this era of the coronary care unit and electrocardiographc monitoring of patients with acute myocardial infarction, a major problem is that of cardiogenic shock. Some 10 to 20 percent of hospitalized patients with acute myocardial infarction experience „pump failure“ or cardiogenic shock (2). Of these patients, 80 to 100 percent die as a direct result of the shock state (27). Various approaches to the management of this entity have been used by different investigators (11, 21, 29), and yet, a significant controversy exists as to the ideal therapeutic approach with a proper selection of various pharmacologic agents in cardiogenic shock.
