About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and management approaches of cardiogenic shock throughout the years in adult patients admitted to a Cardiology Department. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How have management strategies and clinical outcomes for cardiogenic shock evolved over time? * How do clinical, laboratory, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring parameters relate to patient survival and overall prognosis in this population?

Researchers will evaluate clinical data collected from 2017 onwards to see if therapeutic advancements and changes in clinical management over the years have led to improved patient survival and quality of care.

Participants will:

* Receive standard, routine medical care for cardiogenic shock as determined by their clinical team (no experimental interventions will be introduced). * Have their clinical, laboratory, and imaging data collected from hospital electronic records during their stay. * Be followed for up to 1 year after hospital admission to evaluate long-term survival and clinical outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Systolic blood pressure (SBP) <90 mmHg for ≥30 minutes, or

Requirement for vasopressors, inotropes, or mechanical circulatory support to maintain SBP ≥90 mmHg

Serum lactate >2 mmol/L

Acute kidney injury and/or oliguria

Disqualifiers

Age < 18 years.

Other primary etiologies of shock at presentation (e.g., hypovolemic, hemorrhagic, septic, obstructive shock due to acute pulmonary embolism, or anaphylactic shock).

Refusal to participate in the study (applicable only to the prospective cohort).

Trial population

The study population consists of adult patients admitted with cardiogenic shock. The population reflects a real-world, highly complex, and critically ill cohort comprising both a retrospective cohort (admitted from January 2017 onwards) and a prospective cohort consecutively enrolled at the center.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

All-Cause Mortality at 30 days after admission

The proportion of patients presenting with cardiogenic shock who die from any cause during the first 30 days after admission

Time frame
From date of hospital admission to 30 days after admission

Secondary outcomes

1

All-Cause Mortality at 1 Year

The rate of all-cause mortality evaluated after the index admission. Survival status will be determined via electronic medical records or the national registry ("last seen alive" verification).

Time frame
At 1 year post-index admission.
2

Incidence of Major Bleeding up to 30 days after admission

The proportion of patients experiencing major bleeding events up to 30 days after admission. Major bleeding is defined according to the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) classification as Type 3 (including 3a, 3b, and 3c) or Type 5 (fatal bleeding).

Time frame
From date of hospital admission to 30 days after admission
3

Incidence of 3-Point Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (3P-MACE) at 30 days

Thrombotic/ischemic events are defined using the 3-point Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (3P-MACE) composite, which includes cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and non-fatal stroke at 30 days after admission.

Time frame
From date of hospital admission to 30 days after admission

Other outcomes

1

Rate of Long-term Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implantation or Heart Transplantation

The percentage of patients transitioning to advanced, long-term therapeutic options, specifically durable Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD, e.g., HeartMate 3) or undergoing heart transplantation as a bridge or destination therapy.

Time frame
Up to 1 year post-index admission.
