Usefulness of echocardiography in cardiogenic shock
| ▸ Evaluate left ventricular function and myocardium at risk |
| ▸ Evaluate remote myocardial segments |
| ▸ Screen for ventricular septal rupture |
| ▸ Screen for severe mitral regurgitation and proceed to transoesophageal echocardiography as needed |
| ▸ Look for tamponade/rupture |
| ▸ Assess right ventricular function |
| ▸ Look for aortic dissection |
