Purpose Cardiogenic shock is associated with high mortality. In refractory shock, it is unclear
if mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices improve survival. We conducted a network …

Cardiogenic shock is a primary cardiac disorder that results in both clinical and biochemical
evidence of tissue hypoperfusion and can lead to multi‐organ failure and death depending …

Background: Despite high rates of cardiovascular disease in Scotland, the prevalence and
outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock are unknown. Methods: We undertook a …
