Cardiogenic Shock Recognition

Guest: Jacob C. Jentzer, M.D.

Hosts: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.

Cardiogenic shock is a major cause of death and disability for patients with acute cardiac disease. Early recognition of cardiogenic shock is essential to allow timely intervention to avoid complications. Contemporary research and evolving definitions can facilitate the recognition of subtle manifestations of cardiogenic shock with the goal of improving patient outcomes.

Topics Discussed:

• What are the common manifestations of cardiogenic shock that can enable early recognition?
• Can patients meet criteria for cardiogenic shock even if they are normotensive?
• How have research efforts at Mayo Clinic contributed to understanding the recognition of cardiogenic shock?
• Are there any systems at Mayo Clinic to facilitate early recognition of cardiogenic shock?
