Abstract
Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a situation of low cardiac output that is associated with hypoperfusion and multisystemic organ failure. The most common cause is acute myocardial infarction with severe left ventricular dysfunction. Advances in reperfusion therapy have improved CS survival, but in-hospital mortality remains high (around 50%). Coordinated regional health care systems, associated with common treatment algorithms, have improved survival in severe acute conditions in which the prognosis is time-dependent (acute myocardial infarction [AMI], stroke, outpatient cardiac arrest, polytrauma). Applying a similar strategy adapted to the CS could have a similar effect on its survival.
