Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In cardiogenic shock, the heart is unable to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to decreased cardiac output. The body will compensate by increasing heart rate, however, this may not be enough to maintain blood pressure. Therefore, the patient may present with an increased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, and decreased cardiac output.
