Patients &amp;gt; 70 were excluded due to local eligibility criteria. Normotensive (n = 51) and hypotensive CS (n = 61) had similar degrees of cardiac impairment, with cardiac indices well below 2.0\u2005L\/min\/m2 and LVEF &amp;lt; 35%. Both groups exhibited comparable end-organ dysfunction, including lactate levels (7.0 \u00b1 5.0 vs. 6.1 \u00b1 5.6\u2005mmol\/L, P = 0.441) and acute liver injury (51\u201356%). Hypotensive CS typically followed a predictable decline in shock stage [75.4% deteriorated to Society for Cardiovascular Angiography Interventions (SCAI) stages D\u2013E], whereas normotensive CS demonstrated less predictable trajectories, with 51% showing apparent stability before rapid deterioration and death. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that only the rise in serum creatinine weakly predicted deterioration to advanced SCAI stages (Area under the curve 0.62, P = 0.035), while initial lactate and liver function tests lacked predictive value. Normotensive cases had a median 14\u2005h longer referral window from onset of CS but were referred less frequently. Twenty-six were considered potential candidates for advanced heart failure therapy but were not referred.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Normotensive and hypotensive CS share similar degrees of hypoperfusion but differ in their shock trajectories. The delay in referrals for normotensive CS highlights the need for earlier recognition of this phenotype and standardized protocols to ensure timely referrals for mechanical circulatory support.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjopen\/oeaf053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,27]],"date-time":"2025-06-27T14:07:32Z","timestamp":1751033252000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Learning from cardiogenic shock deaths: a comparative analysis between hypotensive and normotensive cardiogenic shock"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9304-9521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patrick","family":"Tran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire , Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry, CV2 2DX ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mithilesh","family":"Joshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"University of Warwick , Medical School Building, Coventry, CV4 7AL ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7793-1733","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prithwish","family":"Banerjee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire , Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry, CV2 2DX ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"University of Warwick , Medical School Building, Coventry, CV4 7AL ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sendhil","family":"Balasubramanian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire , Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry, CV2 2DX ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Uday","family":"Dandekar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Hospitals Coventry & Warwickshire , Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry, CV2 2DX ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Otabor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Adeyeye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaffar","family":"Al-Sheikhli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"University of Warwick , Medical School Building, Coventry, CV4 7AL ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4284-782X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michael","family":"Kuehl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health and Life Sciences, Coventry University , Priority St., Coventry, CV1 5FB ,","place":["UK"]},{"name":"University of Warwick , Medical School Building, Coventry, CV4 7AL ,","place":["UK"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025062710072661300_oeaf053-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"933","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2022.01.018","article-title":"SCAI SHOCK stage classification expert consensus update: a review and incorporation of validation studies","volume":"79","author":"Naidu","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Am Coll Cardiol"},{"key":"2025062710072661300_oeaf053-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1287","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1208410","article-title":"Intraaortic balloon support for myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock","volume":"367","author":"Thiele","year":"2012","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"key":"2025062710072661300_oeaf053-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"167","DOI":"10.1097\/SHK.0000000000001052","article-title":"Cardiogenic shock due to end-stage heart failure and acute myocardial infarction: characteristics and outcome of temporary mechanical circulatory support","volume":"50","author":"Lim","year":"2018","journal-title":"Shock"},{"key":"2025062710072661300_oeaf053-B4","author":"UK.
