Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate whether timely and aggressive temporary Mechanical Circulatory Support (tMCS) through the Impella 5.5® in patients with acute decompensated heart failure complicated by cardiogenic shock (ADHF-CS) has the potential to reduce the HF-CS related clinical events compared to the current standard of care.

baseline to 90 days
Secondary Outcomes (19)
In-hospital mortality (Efficacy - Secondary Endpoint)
baseline to 28 days
In-hospital Worsening Heart Failure (Efficacy - Secondary Endpoint)
baseline to 28 days
Cardiac mortality (Efficacy - Secondary Endpoint)
baseline to 1 year
All-cause mortality (Efficacy - Secondary Endpoint)
baseline to 1 year
Mechanical ventillation (Efficacy - Secondary Endpoint)
baseline to 1 year
- +14 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Impella 5.5
EXPERIMENTALADHF-CS patients who are in the experimental arm will be treated with an Impella 5.5 (+/- standard of care)
Standard of care
OTHERADHF-CS patients who are in the control arm will be treated with escalating doses of inotropes (standard of care)
