Abstract

Cardiogenic shock in pregnancy is rare but is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Timely recognition with multidisciplinary management is necessary for optimal maternal and fetal outcomes. Here we present a case of cardiogenic shock in the antepartum period managed with mechanical circulatory support as a bridge to pregnancy viability.

Keywords: cardio-obstetrics; cardiogenic shock.
