Abstract
Cardiogenic shock represents a complication in up to 10% of patients with acute myocardial infarction. Cardiogenic shock mortality remains high. In the contemporary treatment inhibitors of NO synthase are studied, apart from classic medications. Mechanical circulatory support is also important in majority of patients with cardiogenic shock: intraaortic balloon contrapulsation, left ventricular assist device systems. Prognosis is improved by percutaneous coronary intervention.
