About
The aim of this project is to understand the heterogeneity of both the immune consequences and treatment responses in CS. We will explore this heterogeneity through identification of transcriptomic sub-phenotypes and their association with outcomes, including therapeutic responses.
Full description
This is a prospective observational cohort study in 8-10 cardiac centres across Europe. We will recruit patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and CS who are supported medically (n=100); with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (n=50); and with the Impella Device (n=50). We will also enrol patients who present with either AMI and no evidence of CS (n=50) or CS due to non-ischaemic pathologies (e.g. myocarditis: n=50) as comparators. The recruitment target is 300 patients.

Inclusion criteria
All of the following are required for inclusion following screening:
CS will be defined by:
Systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg for at least 30 minutes
A requirement for a continuous infusion of vasopressor or inotropic therapy to maintain systolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg.
Clinical signs of pulmonary congestion, plus signs of impaired organ perfusion with at least one of the following manifestations:
Exclusion criteria
Any of the inclusion criteria not met and:
Unwilling to provide informed consent.
Echocardiographic evidence (recorded within 90 mins of end of PCI procedure) of mechanical cause for CS: eg ventricular septal defect, LV-free wall rupture, ischaemic mitral regurgitation.
Age <18 and ≥80 years.
Shock from another cause (sepsis, haemorrhagic/hypovolaemic shock, anaphylaxis, etc).
Significant systemic illness
Known dementia of any severity
Comorbidity with life expectancy <12 months.
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and any of the following:
Arterial lactate level of <2.0 mmol per litre.
300 participants in 5 patient groups
