Summary
This study tests a drug called ivabradine in 429 adults with septic shock, a life-threatening condition where infection causes dangerously low blood pressure. Many patients develop a fast heart rate, which can worsen outcomes. Ivabradine slows the heart without weakening its pumping strength, unlike standard beta-blockers. The goal is to see if controlling heart rate this way reduces deaths at 28 days.
