CARDIOGENIC SHOCK

This study is testing if aiming for a slightly lower blood pressure can help patients with severe heart failure after a heart attack. It compares a lower target to the standard one to see if using less of a strong blood pressure medication (noradrenaline) leads to better survival…

This study is testing if a small sensor implanted in the lung artery can help manage patients after a life-threatening heart failure event called cardiogenic shock. The device continuously monitors heart pressure, and doctors hope this data will help them adjust medications to pr…

This study is testing a special heart-lung support machine used during a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure. It's for patients with severe valve disease who are very unstable or have complex heart anatomy, putting them at high risk during surgery. Researchers wa…

This study tests if adding a small balloon pump (IABP) to a major heart-lung support machine (VA ECMO) helps patients with severe heart failure recover enough to be safely taken off the machine. It will involve 430 adults in cardiogenic shock who are on this advanced life support…

This study aims to find out if starting a kidney support machine earlier than usual is better for patients with severe heart failure who are also on a heart-lung life support machine. It will compare the safety and effectiveness of early treatment versus the standard timing in ab…

This study is testing a new temporary heart pump device for patients experiencing cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood. The research aims to see if the device is safe and effective at stabilizing patients' blood pressure…

This study is testing if using a special catheter (a thin tube) to closely monitor heart pressures right away can help patients survive a dangerous condition called cardiogenic shock. It will compare this early, detailed monitoring to the current standard care, which often uses t…

This study is testing a temporary heart pump called the iVAC 2L to see if it can help patients survive and recover better from high-risk stent procedures. The pump is inserted through a leg artery and helps the heart pump blood during the delicate surgery. Researchers will follow…

This study is testing if starting a special advanced life support machine (called ECMO) right at the scene of a cardiac arrest is better than waiting until the patient reaches the hospital. It will compare survival and brain recovery in 90 patients. The main goal is to see if get…

This study aims to test the safety and effectiveness of a heart-lung support machine called the Cardiohelp System in children with life-threatening heart failure. It will also compare two different blood thinners used with the device. The goal is to gather enough evidence for the…

This study aims to understand why patients with cardiogenic shock (a severe form of heart failure) respond differently to treatments and have varying outcomes. Researchers will collect blood samples from 300 patients across Europe to analyze genetic patterns and immune system res…

This study aims to understand the challenges faced by people who survive a severe heart event called cardiogenic shock after they leave the hospital. Researchers will follow 350 survivors to track their health, hospital readmissions, and mortality. The goal is to gather informati…

This study is collecting information to understand how well patients with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) do when treated by a specialized shock team. Researchers will look at survival rates and compare different treatment approaches, including various heart support devi…

This study is creating a large registry to track 500 patients with cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening heart condition. Researchers will follow patients from four specialized hospitals for up to a year to understand current treatments and patient outcomes. The goal is to gather…

This study aims to understand if the stiffness of a patient's arteries can predict how well they respond to a temporary heart pump called an intra-aortic balloon pump. Researchers will observe 20 adults with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) who are already receiving this …

This study is creating a large international registry to collect real-world data on how a medical device called CytoSorb is used in critical care. The device filters harmful substances from a patient's blood and is used for various severe conditions like septic shock, severe trau…
