Cardiogenic shock registry to improve care and outcomes
This registry collects information about people who have cardiogenic shock, a serious condition where the heart cannot pump enough blood. Your participation may help doctors learn which treatments and monitoring best improve outcomes.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06965504Recruiting
Heart failure medications with an Impella heart pump for cardiogenic shock
This study tests whether a special heart pump (Impella 5.5) can help patients with severe heart failure (cardiogenic shock) safely start and increase their heart failure medications. The goal is to see if this approach can help the heart recover and improve outcomes.

What taking part in a cardiogenic shock study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
