Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is the leading cause of death among patients with acute coronary syndrome. This pathology is characterized by high rates of inhospital and annual mortality. In Russian literature, data on the prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of patients with cardiogenic shock are limited. Therefore, the main aim of this publication is to increase the awareness of specialists about modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. This review discusses in detail the main causes of cardiogenic shock, aspects of pathophysiology, modern classification, diagnosis, and algorithms for pharmacological and non-drug therapy in patients with cardiogenic shock.
