Post-Acute Phase of Cardiogenic Shock

Plain-language summary
Epidemiology studies showed that the burden of cardiogenic shock (CS) persistently high, with increasing annual medical expenses and steady prevalence. In-hospital and one-year mortality reduce annually. Hence, there are increasing number of patients who survive to hospital discharge but they will face further challenges in the subacute stage after hospital discharge. However, there are still insufficient studies focusing on this issue. Establishment of a healthcare neatwork to help hospital survivors of CS return society safely is critical.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is focused on the post-acute phase of cardiogenic shock — does that mean it's studying what happens after the initial crisis is stabilized, and would my current recovery stage actually fit what they're looking for?
2Since the trial is listed as Phase NA, which sometimes means it's observational rather than testing a new treatment, can you help me understand whether joining this study would change anything about the care I actually receive, or would it mainly involve being monitored and followed over time?
3The trial is measuring mortality and rehospitalization as its main outcomes — does that give you any sense of how long they'd be tracking me, and what kind of follow-up visits or check-ins that would realistically involve?
4Given that I've just gone through cardiogenic shock, would participating in this study conflict with or delay any standard treatments or rehabilitation steps you're already planning for me?
5Are there alternative post-acute care programs or studies you'd recommend I consider alongside or instead of this one, based on where I am in my recovery right now?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
