NCT ID NCT02918214

Summary

This study aimed to understand how different patterns of heart function affect survival in patients with septic shock, a severe blood infection. Researchers followed 440 intensive care patients, using daily heart ultrasound scans to measure how well the heart pumps and relaxes. The goal was to identify which heart function patterns are linked to better or worse outcomes, which could help doctors improve treatment decisions.
