Abstract

Echocardiography is the most helpful diagnostic modality in cardiogenic shock, the management of which still remains challenging despite advances in therapeutic options. The presence of cardiogenic shock portends high mortality rates. Therefore, rapid recognition, identification of the underlying cause, and evaluation of the severity of hemodynamic dysfunction are vital for correct management. Whether the cause of shock is unknown, suspected, or established, echocardiography is utilized in its diagnosis and management as well as to monitor progress. It is recommended as the modality of first choice. No other investigative bedside tool can offer comparable diagnostic capability, allowing for exact targeting of the underlying cardiac and hemodynamic problems. Echocardiography can promptly provide an impression of the etiology of shock and the potential line of treatment. Normal left ventricular and right ventricular systolic function, normal cardiac chamber dimensions, absence of any significant valvular pathology, and absence of any pericardial effusion virtually rule out a cardiac cause of shock. This review discusses the role of echocardiography as a decision-making tool in the evaluation and management of cardiogenic shock.
