New study aims to unravel deadly shock combo in heart patients
NCT ID NCT07354568
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at a severe condition called mixed cardiogenic-vasoplegic shock, where the heart fails to pump and blood vessels widen too much. Researchers will review medical records from 2,500 patients in three French hospitals to understand who gets this condition and how they fare. The goal is to identify factors that lead to better or worse outcomes, which could guide future treatment.
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 study could help doctors better identify and manage this severe type of shock, potentially improving survival rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test new therapies. Results may not apply to all patients or hospitals.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study will include adult patients (\>18 years old) admitted to an intensive care unit for mixed cardiogenic shock (M-CS), defined by the coexistence of low cardiac output and, when present, vasoplegia requiring vasopressor support (norepinephrine \>0.15 µg/kg/min) despite adequate filling pressures. Eligible patients must meet at least SCAI stage B criteria for cardiogenic shock. Patients with major missing data, particularly on vasopressor dosing, or those who have expressed opposition to data use will be excluded. This population represents a heterogeneous, high-risk group combining features of cardiogenic and vasoplegic circulatory failure, including ischemic, post-cardiotomy, and septic cardiomyopathy etiologies. The PROMIX study aims to better characterize clinical trajectories, hemodynamic profiles, and outcomes of these patients through clustering and phenotypic analyses.
