Gender differences in outcomes have been widely reported regarding several cardiovascular diseases. The aim of our study was to evaluate potential gender disparities in clinical presentation, management, and in-hospital outcomes of all (n = 138) patients admitted to the Acute Cardiac Care Unit of a tertiary hospital from 2013 to 2019. Information on demographic characteristics, past medical history, haemodynamic and clinical status at admission, therapeutic management, and in-hospital outcomes was retrospectively collected. Women represented 31.88% of the cohort, were significantly older than the men and had a lower proportion of smokers, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and previous acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Most CSs in both groups were AMI-related. Left ventricular ejection fraction at admission was higher in women, who were less likely to receive vasopressors. No differences were observed regarding mechanical circulatory support use and in-patient outcomes, with age being the only factor associated with in-hospital mortality on multivariate analysis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm9103117","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]],"date-time":"2020-09-28T10:39:58Z","timestamp":1601289598000},"page":"3117","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Cardiogenic Shock Clinical Presentation, Management, and In-Hospital Outcomes in Patients Admitted to the Acute Cardiac Care Unit of a Tertiary Hospital: Does Gender Play a Role?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Adrian","family":"Jer\u00f3nimo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4567-7782","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcos","family":"Ferr\u00e1ndez-Escarabajal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Carlos","family":"Ferrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco J.","family":"Noriega","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Diz-D\u00edaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rodrigo","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Centro Nacional de Investigaci\u00f3n Cardiovascular (CNIC), 28029 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"McInerney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Ortiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ana","family":"Viana-Tejedor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Acute Cardiac Care Unit, Hospital Cl\u00ednico San Carlos, 28040 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e011991","DOI":"10.1161\/JAHA.119.011991","article-title":"Cardiogenic Shock","volume":"8","author":"Vahdatpour","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
