Abstract		Cardiogenic shock is due to severe depression of systolic cardiac performance. Systolic arterial pressure is below 80 mm Hg, the cardiac index is reduced below 1 .8 I/min/m2 and the left ventricular filling pressure is elevated, generally above 18 mm Hg. The patient is frequently obtunded, the urine output is less then 20 ml/h and the extremities are cold and cyanotic. The most frequent cause of cardiogenic shock is myocardial infarction, less frequent are myocarditis an toxic drug effect (beta blockers, calcium antagonists). Treatment and nursing of a patient in cardiogenic shock due to myocardial infarction are described in paper.
