Heart failure and cardiogenic shock exist on the same disease spectrum, yet they’re often taught separately. In this episode, we bring them together into a single, cohesive framework that explains how heart failure progresses to cardiogenic shock — and how to manage both at the bedside. Topics covered include: • Heart failure pathophysiology (HFrEF vs HFpEF) • Preload, afterload, contractility, and cardiac output • Compensated vs decompensated heart failure • Acute decompensated heart failure • Cardiogenic shock physiology • Clinical findings and hemodynamics • Diagnostic approach (exam, labs, echo, ultrasound) • Management principles and common pitfalls 📚 MINI COURSES, STUDY GUIDES (for this video), PRACTICE QUESTIONS, AD FREE VIDEOS, EDUCATIONAL DISCUSSIONS in our WBM Emergency Critical Care Patreon Community - Join Today!! https://www.patreon.com/c/WhiteBoardMedicine DISCLAIMER THIS PODCAST DOES NOT PROVIDE MEDICAL ADVICE.
