The admission level of CRP during cardiogenic shock is a strong independent risk marker of mortality.

ABSTRACT: Inflammatory processes are involved not only in coronary artery disease but also in heart failure (HF). Cardiogenic shock (CS) and septic shock are classically distinct although intricate relationships are frequent in daily practice. The impact of admission inflammation in patients with CS is largely unknown. FRENSHOCK is a prospective registry including 772 CS patients from 49 centers. One-month and one-year mortalities were analyzed according to the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) at admission, adjusted on independent predictive factors. Within 406 patients included, 72.7% were male, and the mean age was 67.4 y ± 14.7. Four groups were defined, depending on the quartiles of CRP at admission. Q1 with a CRP < 8 mg/L, Q2: CRP was 8-28 mg/L, Q3: CRP was > 28-69 mg/L, and Q4: CRP was > 69 m
