New heart scan tested in fight against deadly infection shock

NCT ID NCT03663192

Summary

This study tested a new, more sensitive type of heart ultrasound scan in 50 patients with septic shock, a life-threatening condition. The goal was to see if this new scan could better track heart function and predict which patients are more likely to survive their ICU stay. It was an observational study, meaning researchers only measured and observed; they did not test a new treatment.
