Study summary

This is a registry of the patients that are admitted to CICU and treated by the Scientific Staff of the 2nd Department of Cardiology, due to an acute cardiovascular disease (acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, arrhythmia, pulmonary embolism, cardiac tamponade etc) in order to investigate the clinical characteristics of the patients, their outcome, identify the factors that could predict the in-hospital mortality and compare the results with the predicted by established risk scores. Furthermore, the study will investigate the one-year mortality and also the major adverse cardiac events (MACE - acute myocardial infarction, stroke, or cardiovascular death) will be measured.

Read the detailed description

For every patient that will be enrolled to the study, information from the medical record will be collected, as long as he/she has provided a signed consent form after being fully informed of the study and its objectives. In case the patient cannot decide on his/her own, e.g. intubated patients, an informed consent form must be acquired by a relative or legal representative. Only the data that will be considered necessary for scientific reasons will be acquired: general and demographic information, medical information like the personal and family history, the diagnostic tests performed and the treatments or interventions that took place. The patients will not have to do anything further or undergo any additional visits or medical exams apart from those indicated; they will not receive any extra treatment (because of their participation to the study) beyond what they would receive for their condition according to the established practice so far. Furthermore, the doctor will not change or withdraw any treatment that the patients would normally receive. The patients' medical care will continue normally under the CICU doctors' supervision.

The participants will be monitored during their hospitalization in the CICU, during their hospitalization in the 2nd Department of Cardiology of the UHI after their discharge from CICU, as well as for the next 1-year in the Outpatients Clinic; if the latter is not feasible (in case of disability or distance) they will be contacted through telephone interviews.

Study population

All patients that are admitted through the Emergency Department of the UHI, transferred by other hospital clinics or by other regional secondary hospitals, with an acute cardiovascular disease that requires treatment in a CICU and are under scientific supervision of the 2nd Department of Cardiology, irrespectively of gender and age. In order to be enrolled, patients or their relative/legal representative (in cases stated above) must have signed an informed consent form

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) through the Emergency Department of the UHI
  • All patients transferred to the CICU from other hospital departments or other regional secondary hospitals
  • Patients with an acute cardiovascular disease that requires treatment in a CICU
  • Patients who are under scientific supervision of the 2nd Department of Cardiology
  • Patients (or their relative/legal representatives) that have signed the form

Exclusion Criteria: None

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Apr 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2026, 35 months after the start.

Of 79 non-industry observational studies under Shock, Cardiogenic, half reached primary completion within 44 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19. This study's planned 35 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 84 studies reached it within 45 months; a quarter within 24.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 13, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
