Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a highly lethal condition that requires prompt and appropriate multimodality treatment. While research has mainly focused on left heart pathology, there is limited assessment of right heart pathology and its management in CS patients. This review aims to provide an in-depth assessment of the pathophysiology, presentation, and management of CS patients with right heart failure.
Cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a highly lethal condition despite many efforts and new interventions. Patients presenting with a rapid onset of hemodynamic instability and subsequent collapse require prompt and appropriate multimodality treatment. Multiple etiologies can lead to heart failure and subsequent shock. As the case prevalence of heart failure increases worldwide, it is of great importance to explore all manners and protocols of presentation and treatment present. With research primarily focusing on CS due to cardiac left-sided pathology, few assessments of right-sided pathology and the subsequent clinical state and treatment have been conducted. This review aims to present an in-depth assessment of the currently available literature, assessing the pathophysiology, presentation and management of CS patients due to right heart failure.
