What this trial studies

This registry collects clinical outcomes related to patients experiencing cardiogenic shock, including those with acute decompensated heart failure and acute myocardial infarction. It aims to compare survival rates before and after the establishment of a dedicated Cardiogenic Shock team in 2017. The study will analyze the effectiveness of mechanical circulatory support interventions, such as ECMO and Impella, versus no circulatory intervention. Data will be gathered from patients treated at the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute, including both inpatients and those transferred from other facilities.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could improve treatment protocols and outcomes for patients suffering from cardiogenic shock.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in improving outcomes for cardiogenic shock patients through specialized treatment teams, suggesting this approach may be effective.
