About this trial
This clinical study was a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 472 patients with early-stage cardiogenic shock were recruited and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 236 cases in each group. The HeartMed-HF digital out-of-hospital management was used to manage the patients in the experimental group, while the patients in the control group were managed according to the discharge guidance. The primary endpoints were 1-year all-cause mortality and unplanned readmission after randomization (excluding emergency department visits). Secondary endpoints (at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-randomization) were: all-cause mortality, rehospitalization for HF, recurrent MI, ischemia-driven repeat revascularization, stroke, BARC 3-5 grade major bleeding, unplanned formal rehospitalization, types of GDMT medications or GDMT target dose achievement rate.
Eligibility criteria

hospital external management
Combination product(I) Symptom management: After enrollment, health managers regularly promoted health education to enhance patients' awareness of the disease and adherence to post-discharge management. Simultaneously, patients were managed via a digital platform, with each patient being provided with a chip-implanted sphygmomanometer to monitor their blood pressure and pulse in real time. If patients develop symptoms, they can report them in real-time and generate alerts to health managers. Through internal clinical decision-making algorithms, the telemedicine team would conduct clinical evaluations and seek decision guidance from clinical cardiologists if necessary. (II) Clinical evaluation: the system stratified patients by risk levels and determined the frequency and intensity of management accordingly, with blood pressure and heart rate monitored daily. The digital management system automatically transmitted abnormal data to a doctor's assistant, with early detection of life-threatening complication

1-year all-cause mortality and unplanned formal readmission after randomization (excluding emergency department visits)
Time to first event analysis: Event rates will be estimated by the Kaplan Meier method and compared by the log rank test. Treatment effects will be assessed using Cox regression, with results expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs.
Secondary outcomes
all-cause mortality
Rehospitalization for HF
Recurrent MI
Ischemia-driven repeat revascularization
