Description
Cardiogenic shock phenotypes refer to the distinct clinical and haemodynamic profiles of patients presenting with cardiogenic shock. They help characterise the underlying cardiac dysfunction, circulatory disturbances, degree of organ hypoperfusion, and associated clinical features. Understanding these phenotypes supports early identification, risk stratification, and selection of appropriate management strategies.
Objectives
-Describe the different clinical and haemodynamic phenotypes of cardiogenic shock.
-Identify the underlying causes and key clinical features associated with left ventricular, right ventricular, biventricular and mixed cardiogenic shock.
-Explain the haemodynamic changes and pathophysiological mechanisms associated with different cardiogenic shock phenotypes.
- Recognise the role of clinical assessment, echocardiography and haemodynamic monitoring in identifying and differentiating cardiogenic shock phenotypes.
-Discuss phenotype-specific management strategies, including pharmacological support and mechanical circulatory support.
