== Causes == Cardiogenic shock is caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively. It is due to damage to the [[cardiac muscle|heart muscle]], most often from a heart attack or [[myocardial contusion]].<ref name=ITLSPg172>{{cite book |title=International Trauma Life Support for Emergency Care Providers |date=2018 |publisher=Pearson Education Limited |isbn=978-1292-17084-8 |pages=172β173 |edition=8}}</ref> Other causes include [[cardiac arrhythmia|abnormal heart rhythms]], [[cardiomyopathy]], [[heart valve]] problems, ventricular outflow obstruction (i.e. systolic anterior motion in [[hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]]), or ventriculoseptal defects. It can also be caused by a sudden decompressurization (e.g. in an aircraft), where air bubbles are released into the bloodstream ([[Henry's law]]), causing [[heart failure]].<ref name="IrwinRippe">{{Cite book | vauthors = Rippe JM, Irwin RS |title=Irwin and Rippe's intensive care medicine |publisher=Lippincott Williams & Wilkins |year=2003 |isbn=978-0-7817-3548-3 |location=Philadelphia |oclc=53868338}}{{Page needed|date=September 2010}}</ref><ref name="Marino">{{Cite book | vauthors = Marino PL |url=https://archive.org/details/icubook00mari |title=The ICU book |publisher=Williams & Wilkins |year=1998 |isbn=978-0-683-05565-8 |location=Baltimore |oclc=300112092}}{{Page needed|date=September 2010}}</ref><ref name="FCCS">{{Cite book |author=Society of Critical Care Medicine. |title=Fundamental Critical Care Support |publisher=Society of Critical Care Medicine |year=2001 |isbn=978-0-936145-02-0 |oclc=48632566}}{{Page needed|date=September 2010}}</ref><ref name="InternalMedicine">{{cite book | url = http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/medical/harrisons/ | title = Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine | date = 2005 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120804162006/http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/medical/harrisons/| archive-date = 2012-08-04 | edition = 16th | publisher = The [[McGraw-Hill]] Companies | isbn = 0-07-140235-7 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book | url = http://www.cecilmedicine.com/buy.cfm?book=goldman | title = Cecil Textbook of Medicine | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100616010430/http://www.cecilmedicine.com/buy.cfm?book=goldman| archive-date=2010-06-16 | veditors = Goldman L, Ausiello D | edition = 22nd | date = 2003 | publisher = W.
