myocardium
11. Cardiac tamponade: Occurs when blood leaks into the space between the
pericardium and the pericardial sac
12. Signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade:: Beck triad: the presence of
jugular vein distention, muffled heart sounds, and a narrowing pulse
pressure where the systolic and diastolic blood pressures start to merge.
13. Signs of cardiogenic shock:: -Skin may be cool, clammy, and ashen
-High BP
-Rapid, shallow breathing
-Weak, irregular pulse
GUARANTEED A GRADE 2026/2027
-Anxiety, nausea

chest pain and SOB. She is anxious and "feels like she's going to die." Her skin
is pale, cool, and clammy and her pulse is rapid, weak, and irregular. Her
breathing is labored, with a RR of 28 breaths/min. Her SpO2 is 90%. Lung
sounds show crackles in all fields, and BP is 92/60 mmHg. What is your
differential diagnosis of the patient?: Cardiogenic shock
