Utilizing the Altshock registry, the largest multicenter registry for cardiogenic shock in Italy, the study will evaluate post-acute care programs, focusing on functional recovery, quality of life, and economic efficiency. It will include a cohort of approximately 2000 patients, analyzing survival rates and recovery metrics over 6 months and 1 year post-ICU discharge. The study employs a mixed-method approach to validate an innovative care model compared to traditional pathways.
