> moderate left ventricular dysfuncitoin
shock or increased risk of cardiogenic shock
AV block ( 1e degree ) PR >0.24 sec
Systolic < 90

What is the treatment of cardiogenic shock?
In the case of inadequate CO --> dobutamine.
< 90 and low CO --> norepinephrine to raise RR, later dobutamine can be added and to reduce the dosage of norepineprhine
