PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cardiogenic shock is the most common cause of death in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) [1-9] and has a frequency of around 7-10% [1, 2, 10]. It continues to cause significant mortality despite advances in pharmacological, mechanical and reperfusion endeavors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most often the cause of cardiogenic shock is a serious heart attack. Other health problems that may lead to cardiogenic shock include heart failure, which happens when the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs; chest injuries; and blood clots in the lungs.
