Severe Perspective | Pathophysiology of Cardiogenic Shock

Recently discovered Although the classic pathophysiological pathway of cardiogenic shock (ie, reduced organ perfusion due to insufficient cardiac output and peripheral vasoconstriction) has been around for a long time, the role of macroscopic and microscopic hemodynamics in the severity of the disease and its prognosis It has only been widely studied in recent years. In addition, in order to complete the complex picture of the pathophysiology of cardiogenic shock, research on cytokine cascade, inflammation and proteomics analysis has also recently been put on the agenda.
