Cardiogenic Shock Working Group Registry

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.

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.
