Disease states

Cardiogenic Shock

Predominantly left-sided pump failure with low output, hypotension and elevated filling pressures.

Overview

Select Cardiogenic Shock under Clinical controls → Hemodynamic state. The bold italic live label confirms the active selection. These are the preset’s teaching features; combined disease, rate and interventions can change the resulting numbers.

Predominantly left-sided pump failure with low output, hypotension and elevated filling pressures.

Wedge pressure is high and systemic pulse pressure is narrow.

Reference cardiac output is low, with compensatory elevated systemic resistance.

The preset illustrates one phenotype; mixed and biventricular shock can differ.

Step by step

  1. Reset interventions if you want the untreated example.
  2. Select the condition and inspect the pressure summary and relevant waveforms.
  3. Pause for annotations; add one intervention or loading change to compare the response.
