NCT ID NCT03663192
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 50 adults with septic shock to see how a sensitive heart ultrasound technique, called strain echocardiography, can track heart function changes. The goal was to understand if these measurements can help predict patient outcomes. The research did not test a treatment, but aimed to gather knowledge for future care.
