Italian Pilot Study of Cardiogenic Shock Treatment
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tracks how well people with cardiogenic shock (a life-threatening drop in blood flow after a heart attack or heart failure worsening) do when treated with modern support devices and medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must have cardiogenic shock (very low blood pressure needing medications or a device) caused by a heart attack or worsening heart failure.
- You cannot have had a cardiac arrest with no heartbeat for more than 10 minutes or prolonged CPR.
- You cannot have a condition that makes it unsafe to use a heart support device.
- Your shock must not be from another cause (like infection or bleeding).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing different approaches (medications and mechanical support) to help people with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock (a sudden drop in the heart's pumping ability). It looks at how well these treatments work in a network of hospitals to improve outcomes.
This trial tests a treatment plan for people having a severe heart attack that causes cardiogenic shock, where the heart can't pump enough blood. The study uses a special heart pump to support patients during an emergency procedure to open blocked arteries.
This study looks at how people with cardiogenic shock (or very low blood pressure from heart causes) do after treatment in a specialized cardiovascular ICU. It also examines whether care by heart critical-care specialists affects outcomes.
This trial tests if unloading the heart during ECMO support helps patients recover better from cardiogenic shock. It compares different ways to reduce the heart's workload.
This study looks at whether a person’s genetic information (genomics) can help predict outcomes in cardiogenic shock. You may be asked to give consent and provide information during a serious heart-related emergency, usually soon after symptoms start.
This study is a “registry,” meaning it collects health information from people hospitalized with cardiogenic shock. It may help doctors better understand the condition and improve care over time.
