Inadequate pumping action of the heart is known as _____________

Correct option is D

Ans (d)
Sol. Obstructive shock: This occurs when a physical obstruction (e.g., pulmonary embolism or cardiac tamponade) impairs blood flow, but it is not directly due to inadequate pumping action of the heart.
Septic shock: This is a severe condition caused by infection leading to widespread inflammation, resulting in low blood pressure and organ dysfunction. It is not related to the heart's pumping action.
Anaphylactic shock: This is a severe allergic reaction causing vasodilation and low blood pressure. It is unrelated to the pumping action of the heart.
Cardiogenic shock: This is a condition caused by inadequate pumping action of the heart, leading to insufficient blood flow to meet the body's needs. It often results from conditions such as a heart attack or heart failure. This is the correct answer.
