kardiogeeniseen

Kardiogeeninen refers to a condition or state originating from the heart. In medicine, the term is most commonly used in the context of cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. This is typically caused by severe damage to the heart muscle, often as a result of a heart attack or other serious cardiac events. When the heart muscle is severely weakened or damaged, it loses its ability to effectively pump blood throughout the body. This leads to a significant drop in blood pressure and reduced blood flow to vital organs such as the brain, kidneys, and lungs. Symptoms of cardiogenic shock can include extreme shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, cold and clammy skin, confusion, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. It is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment to improve heart function and restore blood flow. Other less common uses of the term "kardiogeeninen" might refer to symptoms or phenomena that are indirectly related to cardiac activity but not necessarily a direct consequence of heart disease. For example, a kardiogeeninen syncope could refer to fainting caused by a heart rhythm disturbance. The underlying principle remains that the origin or cause is cardiac.
