Brief summary
The study will evaluate the impact of a combined device-drug strategy with Impella 5.5 with best practices and optimized GDMT on heart recovery outcomes in patients with decompensated heart failure and cardiogenic shock.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, post-market, on-label study. For patients presenting with cardiogenic shock in the setting of cardiomyopathy, including peripartum cardiomyopathy, or myocarditis (also known as decompensated heart failure complicated with cardiogenic shock, commonly referred to as heart failure-related cardiogenic shock, HF-CS, including both acute-on-chronic and de novo presentations) as a result of isolated left ventricular failure that is not responsive to optimal medical management and conventional treatment measures (including volume loading and use of pressors and inotropes, with or without IABP), an intentional device-supported strategy with Impella 5.5™ for optimization of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) combined with best practices improves outcomes over standard of care.
Interventions
The intervention is Impella 5.5 with SmartAssist® support combined with protocolized guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) and HF-CS best practices.
