LATIN SHOCK: Registro Latinoamericano de Shock Cardiogénico en el Contexto de Los Sindromes Coronarios Agudos

It is an international, multicenter, observational registry of prospective and consecutive patients with cardiogenic shock in the context of acute coronary syndromes, which will last 12 months from its start on December 4, 2021. Coronary Units will be invited to participate from different Latin American countries through the different cardiology societies. It will be assigned to each country and each participant center a number and patients will be entered into the registry in correlative order by center (1-2-3-etc) to maintain the confidentiality of the patients data. Since the patient data will be extracted from the medical records, the records will be anonymous and there will be no follow-up, no informed consent is required. The names of the participating centers of the different countries will appear in a list at the end of the publications, under the collective name of "LATIN Shock group".

Definition of cardiogenic shock (classic): presence of systolic blood pressure

≤ 90 mm Hg for 30 minutes or requirement of vasopressors, inotropics and / or ventricular supports to maintain a blood pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg, associated with signs of hypoperfusion and pulmonary congestion, in the absence of hypovolemia or arrhythmias that justify the clinical picture. A new definition of cardiogenic shock has recently been proposed (SCAI), which includes 5 categories. In this work, patients with cardiogenic shock only those with C, D and E letter will be included.
