Authors' conclusion

In a large contemporary registry of cardiac critical illness, there exists a gradient of mortality for phenotypes along the preshock to CS continuum with risk for subsequent worsening of preshock states.

Study context

Population
Admissions to contemporary cardiac ICUs (CCCTN registry) along the preshock to cardiogenic shock (CS) continuumof 28,703 admissions, 47 sites
Participants
2,498 admissions
Exposure
Preshock and early shock phenotypes vs SCAI stage C CS
Outcome
In-hospital mortality and incidence of subsequent hypoperfusion among pre- and early shock states

Main finding

As reported in the abstract
