Naples Federico II Intensive Cardiac Care Unit Registry (Naples FED2-ICCU Registry)

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting a prospective observational study to evaluate the current epidemiology, management, and clinical outcomes of patients with acute cardiovascular diseases admitted to the Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU) at the University Hospital Federico II. The focus is on conditions such as acute cardiovascular disease, acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. This study aims to collect comprehensive data to better understand patient care and outcomes without introducing new treatments. The study does not involve any experimental treatments or procedures but observes the usual guideline-directed care provided in the ICCU. Data collection includes demographic, clinical, procedural, therapeutic, and outcome information from patient admission onward. Follow-ups occur during the hospital stay, and at 30 days, 1 year, and the longest available period, through telephone or visits. An independent clinical events committee will review the main clinical outcomes. Participants will provide informed consent upon admission, after which all relevant data will be gathered and anonymized using a secure electronic system. Outcomes assessed include mortality, heart attacks, strokes, heart failure events, bleeding, kidney injury, length of hospital stay, use of mechanical support, neurological status, and quality of life at various time points. The study is overseen by the Clinical Trial Unit at the University of Naples Federico II, ensuring careful data management and patient follow-up until the study's end in 2033.
