Cardiogenic shock is a disease state where the heart is damaged enough that it is unable to supply sufficient blood to the body.


Neurogenic shock, sometimes called vasogenic shock, results from the disruption of autonomic nervous system control over vasoconstriction. Under normal conditions, the autonomic nervous system keeps the muscles of the veins and arteries partially contracted. At the onset of most forms of shock, further constriction is signaled. However, the vascular muscles cannot maintain this contraction indefinitely. A number of factors, including increased fluid loss, central nervous system trauma, or emotional shock, can override the autonomic nervous system control. The veins and arteries immediately dilate, drastically expanding the volume of the circulatory system, with a corresponding reduction of blood pressure.
Any shock that lasts long enough can cause Acute renal failure. But because of the origin and pathology cardiogenic shock is most often associated with renal failure.
