Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old experiencing cardiogenic shock of various etiologies in SCAI stages B, C, D, or E.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with primary septic, anaphylactic, or hypovolemic shock, as well as those in end-stage heart failure, will not benefit from this registry.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This registry aims to gather comprehensive data on the epidemiology, diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes of patients experiencing cardiogenic shock in Poland. It will involve participation from various cardiology departments equipped with 24-hour hemodynamic laboratories, collecting data through electronic case report forms. The study will focus on understanding the current state of treatment, including the use of mechanical circulatory support, to identify areas for improvement in patient care. Data will be collected over a six-month period, followed by a six-month observation phase to track patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this initiative could lead to improved treatment protocols and outcomes for patients suffering from cardiogenic shock.
How similar studies have gone: While this registry approach is not widely tested, similar initiatives have shown promise in improving treatment outcomes for cardiogenic shock in other regions.
