This trial is testing whether structured rehabilitation programs — including physical therapy, breathing exercises, and heart-healthy education — can help patients recover better after experiencing cardiogenic shock (a life-threatening condition where the heart suddenly can't pump blood effectively). Researchers are enrolling about 2,000 patients to see whether rehabilitation reduces deaths, hospital readmissions, and improves quality of life over six months to one year.
Patients who survive a cardiogenic shock event often have weakness, breathing problems, and lasting physical complications. This study wants to understand whether organized rehabilitation care can prevent these long-term problems and keep patients out of the hospital.

As a participant, you would be part of a large group of cardiogenic shock patients tracked over time to see how well rehabilitation works. You would likely attend rehabilitation sessions that include breathing exercises, muscle strengthening, cardiovascular training, and education about preventing future heart problems. Researchers would check on your health at 6 months and 1 year after you leave the hospital, measuring whether you've recovered your strength, quality of life, and whether you've had to return to the hospital.
