AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The registry is looking for adults with cardiogenic shock (the heart cannot pump enough blood), of any cause, with lasting low blood pressure or signs that organs are not getting enough blood.
- Age
- Older than 18 years (minimum age 18 years).
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Cardiogenic shock of any cause, SCAI stage B, C, D or E, with lasting circulation failure: systolic blood pressure under 90 mmHg for 30 minutes or more, or a need for inotropic or vasopressor medicines, with signs of poor blood flow to organs.
Main reasons for not taking part
- No return of spontaneous circulation and considered for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)
- Shock mainly caused by sepsis, an allergic reaction or loss of blood volume
- Cardiogenic shock after an operation
- End-stage heart failure that rules out mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation

Polish Nationwide Registry of Diagnostics, Treatment and Outcome in Patients With Cardiogenic Shock CaS-POL
The registry objective is to get information on current epidemiology, diagnostics, treatment and outcome in patients with cardiogenic shock in Poland. Obtained information will help to plan the nationwide initiative for modern cardiogenic shock treatment with established place for mechanical circulatory support.
It is hypothesized that the treatment and outcome of cardiogenic shock, including mechanical circulatory support, are currently poor in Poland and should be improved. Unfortunately, without status quo data, efficient planning for its improvement cannot be conducted, hence the CaS-POL registry initiative.
Inclusion: Cardiogenic shock patients of all etiologies in SCAI stage B, C, D, E; age > 18 years old; persistent hemodynamic failure defined as systolic blood pressure of <90 mmHg for ≥ 30 minutes or the requirement for inotropic or vasopressor agents with evidence of hypoperfusion of the peripheral organs.
Exclusion: end-stage of heart failure disqualified from mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation; patients without return of spontaneous circulation who were considered to extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR); primary septic, anaphylactic, hypovolemic shock; post-operative cardiogenic shock.
