Cardiogenic Shock
What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?
The signs and symptoms of cardiogenic shock are partly related to the
organs that are failing and include:
cold and clammy skin
confusion
decreased urination
low blood pressure
shortness of breath
rapid breathing
stroke, also called a brain attack, which is damage to the brain from not enough oxygen
a weak pulse
Some symptoms and signs depend on the reason the heart is not pumping
well. For example, the heart rate is usually fast, but the rate could be abnormally low in
other cases.
