Overview
Attending to the catastrophic outcome of cardiogenic shock in a very short time span, its diagnosis must be reached as early as possible in order for proper therapy to be started. This period until diagnosis and treatment initiation is particularly important in the case of cardiogenic shock since the mortality rate of this condition complicating acute-MI is very high, along with the fact that the ability to revert the damage caused, through reperfusion techniques, declines considerably with diagnostic delays. Therefore and due to the unstable state of these patients, the diagnostic evaluations are usually performed as supportive measures are initiated. The diagnostic measures should start with the proper history and physical examination, including blood pressure measurement, followed by an EKG, echocardiography, chest x-ray and collection of blood samples for evaluation. The physician should keep in mind the common features of shock, irrespective of the type of shock, in order to avoid delays in the diagnosis. Although not all shock patients present in the same way, these features include: abnormal mental status, cool extremities, clammy skin, manifestations of hypoperfusion, such as hypotension and oliguria, as well as evidence of metabolic acidosis on the blood results.[1]
Diagnostic Criteria
Clinical Criteria
- Sustained hypotension for at least 30 minutes defined ad systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg, or systolic blood pressure 30 mm Hg below baseline in preexisting hypertension, or the need for supportive measures to keep the systolic blood pressure >90 mmHg
- Clinical evidence of tissue hypoperfusion as manifested by oliguria (urine output <30 mL/hour), cyanosis, cool extremities, or altered mental status
- Presence of myocardial dysfunction following exclusion or correction of possible non-myocardial factors contributing to tissue hypoperfusion such as hypovolemia, hypoxia, arrhythmia, and acidosis[2][3][4]
Hemodynamic Criteria
- Sustained hypotension for at least 30 minutes defined ad systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg, or systolic blood pressure 30 mm Hg below baseline in preexisting hypertension, or the need for supportive measures to keep the systolic blood pressure >90 mmHg
- Depressed cardiac index (<1.8 L/min/m2 of BSA without support or <2.0–2.2 L/min/m2 of BSA with support)
- Elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (>15 mm Hg)
- Adequate filling pressure (left ventricular end-diastolic pressure >18 mm Hg or right ventricular end-diastolic pressure >10–15 mm Hg)
- Elevated arteriovenous oxygen difference (>5.5 mL/dL)[2][4][5][6][7]
