==Overview==
The clinical definition of [[cardiogenic shock]] includes decreased [[cardiac output]] with evidence of tissue [[hypoxia]] in the presence of adequate intravascular volume.<ref name="Califf-1994">{{Cite journal  | last1 = Califf | first1 = RM. | last2 = Bengtson | first2 = JR. | title = Cardiogenic shock. | journal = N Engl J Med | volume = 330 | issue = 24 | pages = 1724-30 | month = Jun | year = 1994 | doi = 10.1056/NEJM199406163302406 | PMID = 8190135 }}</ref>
