NCT ID NCT03663192

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looked at 50 adults with septic shock to see if a special heart ultrasound called strain echocardiography can help predict outcomes. Researchers measured heart function within the first day of shock and tracked survival in the ICU. The goal was to learn more about how the heart changes during septic shock, not to test a new treatment.
