Cool and pale extremities rules out distributive causes (neurogenic, anaphylaxis, septic).
Hypovolemia would describe a process of volume loss bleeding (or dehydration) and would not explain the crackles or jugular venous distention.
Donโt be thrown off by the normal heart sounds. I am getting real good at this descrambling thing.
