800-Patient registry aims to unlock secrets of heart shock survival
NCT ID NCT07597291
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study follows 800 adults admitted to a cardiology department with cardiogenic shock, a life-threatening condition where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood. Researchers will review medical records from 2017 onward to see how treatments and survival rates have changed. Participants receive standard care, and their data is collected for up to one year. The goal is to identify which management strategies lead to better outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could reveal which management strategies improve survival for cardiogenic shock patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.

Inclusion Criteria: -Cardiogenic shock according to the following criteria: Cardiac disorder resulting in hypotension, defined as at least one of the following: * Systolic blood pressure (SBP) \<90 mmHg for ≥30 minutes, or * Requirement for vasopressors, inotropes, or mechanical circulatory support to maintain SBP ≥90 mmHg AND Evidence of tissue hypoperfusion, defined by the presence of at least one of the following: * Serum lactate \>2 mmol/L * Acute kidney injury and/or oliguria * Acute hepatic injury * Cool or mottled extremities * Altered mental status AND Clinical presentation judged to be primarily attributable to a cardiac etiology. Exclusion Criteria: * Age \< 18 years. * Other primary etiologies of shock at presentation (e.g., hypovolemic, hemorrhagic, septic, obstructive shock due to acute pulmonary embolism, or anaphylactic shock). * Refusal to participate in the study (applicable only to the prospective cohort).
