The Cardiogenic Shock Working Group is a multicenter registry where we collect de-identified clinical variables from the medical records and follow-up phone calls of shock patients from multiple institutions and centralize this data to a single registry for analysis of clinical outcomes.

The Cardiogenic Shock Working Group is an Academic Research Consortium involving multiple medical centers within the United States and includes a multicenter registry for patients with cardiogenic shock. De-identified clinical variables are collected from medical records and follow-up phone calls. There is currently no central database for cardiogenic shock, therefore analysis of cardiogenic shock on a larger scale is limited. A goal of the Cardiogenic Shock Working Group is to create a centralized registry, compiled of data from multiple institutions, to analyze clinical outcomes. The Cardiogenic Shock Working Group Registry will include a retrospective arm, where data is collected during the course of the hospital stay, and a prospective arm, where long-term outcomes will be assessed.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients must have cardiogenic shock.

Cardiogenic shock is defined by at least one of the two categories below:

1. At least 2 of the following concurrently at any point during the index hospitalization:

   • Cardiac Index < 2.2
   • PAPI < 1.0
   • Cardiac Power Output ≤ 0.6
   • MAP < 60mmHg or a >30mmHg drop in MAP from baseline
   • SBP < 90mmHg or a >30mmHg drop in SBP from baseline
   • Pulse > 100

2. Require at least one acute mechanical circulatory support device, vasopressor or inotrope to maintain values above the above target.

Post-cardiotomy patients must meet the inclusion criteria 72 hours after their surgery to be included in this registry.

People who are 18 or older who have an official diagnosis of cardiogenic shock.
