NCT ID NCT04031573

First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a drug called ivabradine to see if it can safely lower heart rate in adults with septic shock, a life-threatening infection that causes very fast heartbeats. Unlike standard drugs, ivabradine slows the heart without weakening its pumping strength or dropping blood pressure. The goal is to reduce strain on the heart and improve survival at 28 days.
