Detailed explanation-1: -Early restoration of coronary blood is the most important intervention and is the standard therapy for patients with cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cardiogenic shock usually develops very quickly when it follows a heart attack. Other heart conditions, such as heart failure or arrhythmia, can make it harder for the heart to deliver oxygen-rich blood to the organs, leading to cardiogenic shock.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition and you need emergency treatment. The most important part of treatment is improving the flow of blood and oxygen to major organs to avoid damage. Sometimes, this can be achieved with medications. In more severe cases, support devices may be needed to help your heart.
Detailed explanation-4: -Emergency treatments may include delivering enriched oxygen via a tube or mask; breathing assistance, using a ventilator; and intravenous (IV) fluids and medications to support blood pressure or heart function. Depending on the cause of cardiogenic shock, an array of drugs may be used as part of treatment.
