About this trial

This study aims to compare the impact of hemodynamic monitoring using pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) on survival and inotropic agent reduction in patients with cardiogenic shock caused by heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The investigators also intend to compare the difference in long-term survival rates among patients who have recovered from cardiogenic shock due to HFrEF, based on the timing of initiation of beta-blocker treatment.
