Registry for patients with cardiogenic shock at Inova Heart and Vascular Institute
Official title: Implementation of a Cardiogenic Shock Team and Clinical Outcomes (INOVA-SHOCK Registry)
Run by Inova Health Care Services · NCT03378739 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how well a special team helps patients with cardiogenic shock, including those with severe heart failure or heart attacks, by comparing survival rates and treatments before and after the team was formed in 2017.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old with documented cardiogenic shock treated at the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under the age of 18 will not benefit from this study as they are excluded from participation.

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.
