Trial summary

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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 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.

Read the detailed description

The prospective registry will be open in nature; any cardiology department in Poland with access to a 24-hour hemodynamic laboratory will be eligible to participate in the study. All participants will use an electronic CRF (Case Report Form) to anonymously collect data on the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, treatment approaches, and prognosis of patients with cardiogenic shock. Data will be collected by researchers from the medical documentation of participating centers. The data collection period will span six months, followed by a six-month prospective observation through visit in person, per telephone contact to the patient or his/her relatives or by retracting National Health Fund data in case the contact to the patient or his/her relatives is impossible.

To enable comparison with global data, collected information will include, among other aspects, the latest Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) classification for cardiogenic shock, the availability and application of modern short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support techniques, and the frequency of heart transplants.

cardiogenic shock patientsThe registry will include all patients presenting with primary cardiogenic shock. All medical interventions will be conducted based on established clinical indications.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. all-cause mortality

    all-cause mortality

    Measured: From the date of cardiogenic shock diagnosis recognition until the date of death from any cause assessed up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. myocardial infarction

    Recurrent myocardial infarction following an initial event

    Measured: From the date of cardiogenic shock diagnosis recognition until the date of first documented myocardial infarction assessed up to 6 months

  2. stroke

    stroke following an initial event

    Measured: From the date of cardiogenic shock diagnosis recognition until the date of first documented stroke assessed up to 6 months

  3. heart transplantation

    Heart transplantation in patients without myocardial recovery following cardiogenic shock.

    Measured: From the date of cardiogenic shock diagnosis recognition until the date of heart transplantation assessed up to 6 months

  4. long-term LVAD implantation

    Long-term LVAD implantation in patients without myocardial recovery following cardiogenic shock

    Measured: From the date of cardiogenic shock diagnosis recognition until the date of long-term LVAD assessed up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiogenic Shock, run by Wroclaw Medical University at 2 sites in Poland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Wiktor Kuliczkowski, MD,PhD (+48 71 736 42 51, wiktor.kuliczkowski@umw.edu.pl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

all-cause mortality (time frame: From the date of cardiogenic shock diagnosis recognition until the date of death from any cause assessed up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Apr 2025.
