The study will provide data on profile, management, outcome, and evolution over time of cardiogenic shock patients admitted to the Intensive Coronary Care Units
⁃ All consecutive CS patients hospitalized in the above reported centres between January 2020 and December 2030.
⁃ Cardiogenic shock is defined as:
• Systolic blood pressure (SBP) \<90 mmHg or mean arterial pressure (MAP) \<60 mmHg, after an appropriate fluid challenge if there is no sign of overt fluid overload, OR need of vasoactive agents to maintain SBP \> 90 mmHg or MAP \> 60 mmHg, OR need of MCS;
• At least one of the following criteria/signs of overt hypoperfusion: mixed venous oxygen saturation \<60%; arterial lactates \> 2 mmol/L; oliguria \< 0.5 ml/Kg/h for at least 6 hours.
