About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes and management approaches of cardiogenic shock throughout the years in adult patients admitted to a Cardiology Department. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* How have management strategies and clinical outcomes for cardiogenic shock evolved over time? * How do clinical, laboratory, and advanced hemodynamic monitoring parameters relate to patient survival and overall prognosis in this population?

Researchers will evaluate clinical data collected from 2017 onwards to see if therapeutic advancements and changes in clinical management over the years have led to improved patient survival and quality of care.

Participants will:

* Receive standard, routine medical care for cardiogenic shock as determined by their clinical team (no experimental interventions will be introduced). * Have their clinical, laboratory, and imaging data collected from hospital electronic records during their stay. * Be followed for up to 1 year after hospital admission to evaluate long-term survival and clinical outcomes.
