A 72-yeаr-оld wоmаn is аdmitted tо the ICU with hypotension (blood pressure 82/50 mm Hg), tachycardia (heart rate 118 bpm), and altered mental status. She has cool, mottled extremities with delayed capillary refill. Initial laboratory values show: lactate 4.2 mmol/L, creatinine 1.8 mg/dL (baseline 0.9 mg/dL), and white blood cell count 18,500/mm³. After 2 liters of crystalloid resuscitation, her blood pressure remains 85/52 mm Hg and she requires norepinephrine to maintain a mean arterial pressure of 65 mm Hg. Point-of-care echocardiography reveals: Left ventricular ejection fraction: 25% Dilated left ventricle with global hypokinesis No pericardial effusion Inferior vena cava: 2.4 cm, minimal respiratory variation A pulmonary artery catheter is placed with the following hemodynamic measurements: Cardiac index: 1.8 L/min/m² Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP): 22 mm Hg Central venous pressure (CVP): 16 mm Hg Systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI): 2,800 dynes·sec·cm⁻⁵·m² Mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO₂): 52% Based on the hemodynamic profile, which type of shock is most consistent with this patient's presentation?
