Description: This presentation will review the toxins most commonly associated with cardiogenic shock and outline how to rapidly recognize and stabilize toxicologic shock in the clinical setting. Using guideline-based recommendations, we will walk through a stepwise, case-driven approach to management and highlight when adjunctive or salvage therapies are indicated. Together, these concepts will equip clinicians with a practical framework for managing toxin-induced cardiogenic shock.
