Vasopressors and inotropes
ОглавлениеRapid treatment of hypoperfusion and hypotension is essential when dealing with cardiogenic shock. Inotropes can be used to increase cardiac output and vasopressors to increase blood pressure.

Sympathomimetic agents are most commonly used in the setting of cardiogenic shock, but phosphodiesterase inhibitors and calcium sensitizers are also sometimes used.
