Answer: A. Myocardial infarction.
Cardiogenic shock is a clinical state in which the left or right ventricle fails to pump out enough blood to meet the demands of the body. The most common cause for this is myocardial damage that occurs secondary to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Cerebrovascular accident, aortic dissection and spinal shock are not related to hypoperfusion from cardiac aetiology.
