What causes cardiogenic shock?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many causes: Heart attack, acute myocarditis and stress induced cardiomyopathy can all cause weakness of heart pump and cardiogenic shock. Acute valve problems or dysruption of heart muscle can happen with heart attacks and infection of the heart (endocarditis) and cause cardiogenic shock. Severe heart rhythm problems can also cause ineffective heart pump function and cardiogenic shock.
