ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying patients who are admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) due to serious heart conditions, such as heart failure, heart attacks, or blood clots in the lungs. The goal is to understand more about these patients, including their health outcomes during and after their hospital stay. Researchers want to identify factors that may predict whether patients might experience complications while in the hospital and how they fare one year later. They will also look at major heart-related events that can occur after treatment.

Anyone admitted to the CICU from the Emergency Department or transferred from other hospitals with an urgent heart condition may be eligible to participate, as long as they or their family members agree to take part in the study. There are no specific exclusions, meaning almost all patients in this situation could be included. Participants can expect to be part of a registry that collects important health information, which will help improve care for future patients with similar conditions.
