Summary

This study looks at how sepsis, a severe infection, can cause heart problems in intensive care patients. Researchers will collect data, blood samples, and heart ultrasound images from 330 adults with septic shock. The goal is to find patterns that help doctors better diagnose and predict heart complications from sepsis.
