Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this registry are patients diagnosed with cardiogenic shock who meet specific clinical criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not have cardiogenic shock or those who do not meet the defined clinical criteria will not benefit from this registry.

What this trial studies
The Cardiogenic Shock Working Group is a multicenter registry that collects de-identified clinical data from patients experiencing cardiogenic shock across various institutions in the United States. This registry aims to centralize data for better analysis of clinical outcomes related to cardiogenic shock, which currently lacks a comprehensive database. It includes both retrospective data collected during hospital stays and prospective data for long-term outcomes. The goal is to enhance understanding and treatment of cardiogenic shock through collaborative research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could lead to improved treatment strategies and outcomes for patients suffering from cardiogenic shock.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar registry approaches, indicating the potential for valuable insights in managing cardiogenic shock.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have cardiogenic shock. Cardiogenic shock is defined by at least one of the two categories below: 1. At least 2 of the following concurrently at any point during the index hospitalization: * Cardiac Index \< 2.2 * PAPI \< 1.0 * Cardiac Power Output ≤ 0.6 * MAP \< 60mmHg or a \>30mmHg drop in MAP from baseline * SBP \< 90mmHg or a \>30mmHg drop in SBP from baseline * Pulse \> 100 2. Require at least one acute mechanical circulatory support device, vasopressor or inotrope to maintain values above the above target. Post-cardiotomy patients must meet the inclusion criteria 72 hours after their surgery to be included in this registry.
