What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This clinical study was a multi-center, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. A total of 472 patients with early-stage cardiogenic shock were recruited and randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 236 cases in each group. The HeartMed-HF digital out-of-hospital management was used to manage the patients in the experimental group, while the patients in the control group were managed according to the discharge guidance. The primary endpoints were 1-year all-cause mortality and unplanned readmission after randomization (excluding emergency department visits). Secondary endpoints (at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-randomization) were: all-cause mortality, rehospitalization for HF, recurrent MI, ischemia-driven repeat revascularization, stroke, BARC 3-5 grade major bleeding, unplanned formal rehospitalization, types of GDMT medications or GD
