About This Trial
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.
More detail
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.
