Collapse Cardiogenic

Cardiogenic collapse

Cardiogenic collapse is a condition in which there is a sharp drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. It can be caused by various reasons such as heart failure, shock, anemia, infections and other diseases.

Symptoms of cardiogenic collapse may include dizziness, weakness, pale skin, cold sweat, rapid breathing and rapid pulse. In severe cases, loss of consciousness and cardiac arrest may occur.

Treatment of cardiogenic collapse includes restoring blood pressure and eliminating the cause that led to its development. Medications may also be prescribed to support heart function and improve circulation.

It is important to note that cardiogenic collapse can be life-threatening, so you should immediately seek medical help when the first symptoms appear.

Collapse or collaptoid state (from the English collapse - fall) is an acutely developed and most often difficult-to-reversible pathological condition of the body, characterized by progressive cardiovascular failure, which is caused by a drop in cardiac output, a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance, impaired cerebral circulation and tissue metabolism.
