About this trial
Cardiogenic shock is a life-threatening condition characterized by inadequate cardiac output, leading to organ hypoperfusion and high mortality. Maintaining mean arterial pressure (MAP) is crucial, but standard targets may be insufficient due to venous congestion. Central venous pressure (CVP) can help assess effective perfusion pressure. This study investigates whether a personalized MAP target adjusted by CVP improves organ function and survival compared to standard MAP management.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged ≥18 years

SCAI (Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions) classification ≥ C
Consent from the patient or close relative / trusted person or emergency inclusion procedure
Disqualifiers
Catecholamine infusion for more than 24 consecutive hours;
CVP < 5 mm Hg at inclusion;
MAP > 70 mmHg at inclusion;
Chronic kidney disease stage G4 (defined by an eGFR between 15-29 ml/min/1.73 m²) or G5 (defined by an eGFR less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m²) according to the KDIGO CKD classification at inclusion;

Treatments tested in this trial
Personalized MAP
Other interventionPatients receive blood pressure management targeting a personalized MAP ranging from 65 mmHg + CVP to 75 mmHg + CVP, without exceeding 90 mmHg.CVP is measured via a central venous catheter positioned in the superior vena cava. After 48 hours, if tissue perfusion is restored, the MAP target may be reduced to 65-70 mmHg.
Standard MAP
Other interventionPatients receive blood pressure management aiming for a standard MAP target of 65-70 mmHg, according to international guidelines for cardiogenic shock management.
