Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether information collected during routine hospital care, together with blood and urine samples, can help doctors better identify different types of cardiogenic shock and better predict outcomes in adults hospitalized with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. The main question is whether clinical findings, imaging results, and biomarkers, including sex-specific factors, are associated with the risk of death within 30 days. Participants will not receive an experimental treatment. Researchers will collect data from routine care, collect additional blood and urine samples for biobanking, and follow participants after hospital discharge
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients hospitalized with acute heart failure SCAI stage B - E.
Exclusion Criteria:
