Cardiogenic shock results from the inability of the heart to pump blood through the body. It is the most serious consequence of myocardial infarction, but can also result from other cardiac emergencies, such as extrinsic compression (cardiac tamponade), ventricular arrhythmias, or outflow obstruction (e.g., pulmonary embolism). Prognosis of cardiogenic shock is usually poor since it is associated with extensive myocardial infarction. Mortality rates may be as high as 75%.
