	Shock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In hypovolemic shock, preload is decreased, afterload is increased, and the myocardial contractility remains normal.
		In early septic shock, the preload and afterload are decreased, and the myocardial contractility is increased.
		In late septic shock, the preload and afterload are increased and the myocardial contractility is decreased.

	Cardiogenic Shock - Health Centers
		Cardiogenic shock is a disease state where the heart is damaged enough that it is unable to supply sufficient blood to the body.
		Cardiogenic shock can be caused by disorders of the heart muscle, the valves, or the heart's electrical conduction system.
		To diagnose cardiogenic shock, a catheter (tube) may be placed in the pulmonary artery.

	Cardiogenic Shock, Annals 6 Jul 99
		Cardiogenic shock is diagnosed after documentation of myocardial dysfunction and exclusion or correction of such factors as hypovolemia, hypoxia, and acidosis.
		Cardiogenic shock can also be caused by mechanical complications—such as acute mitral regurgitation, rupture of the interventricular septum, or rupture of the free wall—or by large right ventricular infarctions.
		Cardiogenic shock is diagnosed after documentation of myocardial dysfunction and exclusion of alternative causes of hypotension, such as hypovolemia, hemorrhage, sepsis, pulmonary embolism, tamponade, aortic dissection, and preexisting valvular disease.

	Cardiology Advisor 2006.2: Cardiogenic Shock
		Shock is a condition in which the blood pressure is very low and the body doesn't get all the blood it needs.
		Shock can be caused by a rapid loss of a lot of blood, by allergic reactions, or because the heart is not pumping well.
		If shock is caused by a heart attack, the first treatment is to try to restore blood flow to the damaged part of the heart muscle.

	Cardiogenic shock
		Cardiogenic shock is caused by inadequate functioning of the heart, not by loss of circulating blood volume.
		Septic shock may appear during the course of peritonitis caused by penetrating abdominal wounds or perforation of the appendix.
		Septic shock is the result of vasodilation of small blood vessels in the wound area, or general vasodilation if the infection enters the bloodstream.

	Shock-Cardiogenic
		Nipride may be used only if cardiogenic shock is accompanied by an inappropriately high after load, mitral regurgitation, acute aortic regurgitation, or acute ventricular septal defect.
		Intra-aortic balloon pump is usually indicated for cardiogenic shock that does not respond promptly to pharmacologic therapy.
		Coronary cardiac catheterization should be considered for all patients with cardiogenic shock after myocardial infarction.

	Shock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shock is a serious medical condition where the tissue perfusion is insufficient to meet the required supply of oxygen and nutrients.
		Cardiogenic shock - This type of shock is caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively.
		In neurogenic shock because of vasodilation in the legs, one of the most suggested treatments is placing the patient in the Trendelenburg position, thereby elevating the legs and shunting blood back from the periphery to the body's core.

	Cardiogenic Shock - Health Centers
		Shock occurs whenever the heart is unable to pump enough blood for the needs of the body.
		The goal of treatment is to save the patient's life and treat the underlying cause of shock.
		Approximately 80% of cases of cardiogenic shock are fatal, even with treatment.

	Shock
		Shock is a failure of the circulatory system and is a life-threatening medical emergency.
		Shock can be caused by problems with the heart itself (cardiogenic shock), conditions that block blood flow to or from the heart (extracardiac obstructive shock), severe loss of fluids (hypovolemic shock), or abnormal flow of fluids into the tissues, despite normal or increased heart function (distributive shock).
		Depending on the cause of shock, surgery may be required to repair heart valves or rupture of a ventricle, artificially augment blood flow from the heart, or remove an embolism.

	eMedicine - Cardiogenic Shock : Article by Sat Sharma, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FCCP, DABSM
		Cardiogenic shock is generally associated with the loss of more than 40% of the left ventricular myocardium, although in patients with previously compromised left ventricular function, even a small infarction may precipitate shock.
		Cardiogenic shock characterized by primary myocardial dysfunction causes the heart to be unable to maintain adequate cardiac output.
		Cardiogenic shock may be prevented with early revascularization in patients with MI and with required intervention in patients with structural heart disease.

		Cardiogenic shock typically is triggered by a heart attack, and is definitely life-threatening.
		Cardiogenic shock can spring from disorders of the heart muscle, the heart valves, or the heart's electrical conduction system.
		The symptoms of cardiogenic shock include a weak and rapid pulse, rapid breathing, anxiety, cold hands and feet, fatigue, weakness, loss of ability to concentrate, confusion, agitation, profuse sweating, and decreased urine output.

		Background: Cardiogenic shock is characterized by a decreased pumping ability of the heart that causes a shocklike state (ie, global hypoperfusion).
		The SHOCK trial, however, demonstrated that left ventricular ejection fraction is not always depressed in the setting of cardiogenic shock.
		Although not necessary for the diagnosis of cardiogenic shock, invasive monitoring with a pulmonary artery catheter may be helpful in guiding fluid resuscitation in situations in which LV preload is difficult to determine.

		Shock is the medical term for an acutely ill very critical condition where an individual has very low blood pressures and a low heart output.
