Abstract Aims Mortality in cardiogenic shock (CS) remains elevated, with the potential for CS causes to impact prognosis and risk stratification. The aim was to investigate in‐hospital prognosis and mortality in CS patients according to aetiology. We also assessed the prognostic accuracy of CardShock and IABP‐SHOCK II scores.

Flow chart illustrates the analysed patients as well as main baseline characteristics and outcomes comparing DanGer Shock‐like versus DanGer Shock‐unlike patients. The composite safety endpoint comprises severe bleeding, limb ischaemia, haemolysis, device failure, and worsening of aortic regurgitation. CS indicates cardiogenic shock.

Acute myocarditis according to age: Presentation, management and early outcomes
MIS, multisystem inflammatory syndrome; MRE, myocarditis‐related events (within 30 days included all‐cause death, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, ventricular arrhythmias or complete AV block). Abstract Aims Acute myocarditis (AM) is a rare but severe disease affecting patients of all ages. Large multicentric studies comparing children and adults are
