Blood test may forecast heart risks in shock patients
NCT ID NCT07507110
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 264 patients who had a heart attack complicated by cardiogenic shock. Researchers examined whether the ratio of red blood cell distribution width to albumin (RAR) in the blood could predict major heart problems like death, another heart attack, or stroke during the hospital stay. The goal was to see if this simple blood marker helps identify high-risk patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age over 18 years and under 90 years; 2. Meeting the diagnostic criteria for acute myocardial infarction: myocardial injury markers (preferably troponin) ≥ 99th percentile of the upper limit of normal value, combined with at least one evidence of myocardial ischemia: persistent myocardial ischemic symptoms ≥ 30 minutes; accompanied by ST-segment elevation or depression on electrocardiogram; 3. Meeting the diagnostic criteria for cardiogenic shock: systolic blood pressure \< 90 mmHg, accompanied by clinical symptoms of pulmonary congestion such as dyspnea, and at least one of the following peripheral organ perfusion impairments: altered mental status; cold and clammy skin; urine output \< 30 ml/h; or serum lactate level \> 2.0 mmol/L. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Coexisting cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease or embolic disease; 2. Myocardial infarction caused by coronary artery embolism or blood flow interruption due to peripheral embolus detachment or invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; 3. History of surgery, trauma or infection within one month; 4. History of severe liver or kidney dysfunction, , including alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GGT) \> 2.5 times upper limit of normal value; Serum creatinine \> 1.5 times upper limit of normal value; 5. Coexisting autoimmune diseases, tumors, etc.
