Brief Summary:
Cardiogenic shock a serious complication of a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Despite rapid invasive treatment, circulatory support using positive inotropes and mechanical support with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP), and evaluation of several new treatments during the last decade, the mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock still exceeds 50%. An alternative to current management is restoration of the volume of blood pumped by the heart (cardiac output) using a ventricular assist device. In the acute setting this is difficult but can be done using the Impella device which is a catheter-based, axial flow pump that pumps blood directly from the left ventricle into the circulation thereby restoring blood flow to the failing organs. In 2012 a more powerful Impella has been introduced that is able to deliver 3.5l/min (approximately 75% of a normal cardiac output). The hypothesis of the current study is to reduce mortality and morbidity of patients with cardiogenic shock using the Impella CP. The study will be carried out as a randomized multicenter study where eligible patients will be randomized to receive conventional circulatory support or support with the Impella device and inotropic support if needed. A total of 360 patients are planned to be enrolled, and the primary endpoint will be death.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Death [ Time Frame: up to 6 months ]
    Death from all causes


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. MACE [ Time Frame: minimum follow-up 6 months ]
    Major cardiovascular events, death, cardiac transplant, escalation to permanent left ventricular assist device, re-hospitalization for heart failure.

  2. Composite saftey [ Time Frame: up to 6 months ]
    Combined safety comprising major bleeding, vascular complications, and significant hemolysis.

  3. Days alive out of hospital [ Time Frame: up tp 6 months ]
    Days alive and out of hospital; calculated by subtracting the number of days spent in hospital, from time of randomization to end of follow-up (180 days) for each patient.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Hemodynamics [ Time Frame: up to 7 days ]
    Cardiac power index

  2. Hemodynamics [ Time Frame: up to 7 days ]
    Lactate clearence

  3. Hemodynamics [ Time Frame: up to 7 days ]
    Pulmonary artery pulsatility index

  4. Health economics [ Time Frame: up to 6 months ]
    Cost of treatments

  5. Renal function [ Time Frame: up to 30 days ]
    Development of acute kidney injury and need for dialysis

  6. Bleeding [ Time Frame: up to 30 days ]
    Bleeding complications during admission

  7. Revascularization strategy [ Time Frame: During procedure ]
    Syntax score ( a grading system that evaluates the complexity and prognosis of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, higher scores denotes more complex disase and higher risk)

  8. Revascularization strategy [ Time Frame: up to 6 months ]
    Additional non culprit revascularization
