What is shock? Why does it happen in patients after a heart attack or acute myocardial infarction?
In heart attack the part of the muscle that is deprived of its blood supply undergoes cell death and is
not able to perform its function. When the heart looses enough muscle it cannot perform its pumping
function. This in turn decreases the blood pumped by the heart to various organs like brain, kidney
etc. Decrease in blood flow leads to decrease in oxygen supply to vital organs and symptoms of shock
appear.
