Active clinical trials for "Shock, Cardiogenic"

The overall purpose of this protocol is to identify subacute sepsis-associated cardiac disease in pediatric patients with cancer by CMR and evaluate the CMR findings during their follow-up. This will help inform heart failure management decision making. Evidence of dysfunction or elevated T2 values may inform adjustment of afterload reduction and beta blocker administration, and elevated ECV findings will suggest the need for increased surveillance for diastolic dysfunction. Primary Objectives: (Feasibility Phase) To determine the feasibility of cardiac MRI without anesthesia in the immediate post-sepsis period in children with cancer. CMR scanning will be completed within 10 days of presentation - this will allow us to ensure that possible hemodynamic or respiratory instability and renal dysfunction has resolved prior to transport to the MRI scanner during the most acute phase of illness. (Completion Phase) To estimate the frequency of subacute sepsis-associated cardiac disease, including myocardial inflammation and dysfunction, in the post-acute phase (within 10 days of presentation) of severe sepsis in children with cancer

The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality

Cardiogenic shock a serious complication of a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Despite rapid invasive treatment, circulatory support using positive inotropes and mechanical support with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP), and evaluation of several new treatments during the last decade, the mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock still exceeds 50%. An alternative to current management is restoration of the volume of blood pumped by the heart (cardiac output) using a ventricular assist device. In the acute setting this is difficult but can be done using the Impella device which is a catheter-based, axial flow pump that pumps blood directly from the left ventricle into the circulation thereby restoring blood flow to the failing organs. In 2012 a more powerful Impella has been introduced that is able to deliver 3.5l/min (approximately 75% of a normal cardiac output). The hypothesis of the current study is to reduce mortality and morbidity of patients with cardiogenic shock using the Impella CP. The study will be carried out as a randomized multicenter study where eligible patients will be randomized to receive conventional circulatory support or support with the Impella device and inotropic support if needed. A total of 360 patients are planned to be enrolled, and the primary endpoint will be death.

In the case of cardiogenic shock, the early mortality rate is the highest compared to other types of shock, but it is characterized by a good prognosis and quality of life after recovery, so monitoring the treatment progress is very important to identify the patient's prognosis. However, there are few studies specifically reported on hemodynamic monitoring and prognosis of cardiogenic shock. In addition, as mechanical circulatory support devices are in the spotlight, studies on their effects and safety are starting, but studies on cardiogenic shock are often limited to patients with myocardial infarction. This study is a prospective and retrospective cohort observational study, we aim to identify factors that can improve prognosis, including various drug treatments, diagnostic techniques, and mechanical circulatory support device by investigating the treatment status and clinical outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock hospitalized in cardiovascular critical care unit. In addition, the purpose of this study is to investigate the association between the prognosis of patients with cardiogenic shock and the presence of a specialist resident during regular work hours to clarify the role and necessity of a resident specialist in the cardiovascular intensive care unit. Furthermore, by predicting and treating the clinical course of patients with cardiogenic shock at an early stage, the aim is to reduce the mortality rate and improve the patients' ability to perform daily activities.

International, observational registry to investigate the outcome in patients with cardiogenic shock. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the clinical outcome of patients in cardiogenic shock.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether timely and aggressive temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support (tMCS) through the Impella 5.5® in patients with acute decompensated heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock (ADHF-CS) has the potential to reduce the HF-CS related clinical events compared to the current standard of care.

The current trial aims to assess the effect of istaroxime in patients with SCAI Stage C Cardiogenic Shock (CS). These patients look unwell, frequently with a sudden change in mental status, mottled and cool extremities, and delayed capillary refill, as well as signs of congestion and relative low blood pressure and signs of hypoperfusion (reduced oxygen to organs) which frequently require support with rescue therapies including inotropes, vasopressors, or mechanical devices. Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. has been studying istaroxime, which has the potential to treat patients in this condition without some of the disadvantages of existing therapies being used to treat patients with acute heart failure and CS. Participants enrolled in this trial will receive standard of care (SoC) therapy for heart failure and CS. Additionally, half of the participants will be randomly chosen to receive istaroxime. Istaroxime has the potential to increase blood pressure and improve cardiac function.

The goal of this clinical trial is to monitor hemodynamic differences between central veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) and peripheral VA ECMO. The main question it aims to answer is: Efficacy of the different cannulation strategies for the establishment of for VA-ECMO circulation on hemodynamics and organ perfusion. Participants require VA ECMO support, will be divided into two groups in an intention-to-treat analysis: central artery cannulation and peripheral artery cannulation. Researchers will analyze different cannulation strategies for VA-ECMO and identify potential advantages and disadvantages for two groups of VA-ECMO.

This retrospective study assesses long term renal outcome in patients having suffered medical or post cardiotomy refractory cardiogenic shock requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) concomitant with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The authors seek to establish for accurate definition of renal recovery status predicting poor long-term renal outcomes.

This multicenter randomized controlled trial compare two transfusion strategies of red blood cells transfusion in patients supported by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock. An individualized transfusion strategy based on ScVO2 level, is compared to a conventionnal strategy based on predefined hemoglobin threshold. The primary endpoint is the consumption of packed red blod cells, secondary endpoints are subgroup analysis, mortality, morbidity, and cost-effectiveness
