Heart imaging showdown: which software is best for septic shock?
NCT ID NCT06832436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well two different software programs measure heart function in people with septic shock, a life-threatening infection that affects the whole body. Researchers will use existing heart ultrasound data from 60 adults to see if the measurements agree and can be trusted. The goal is to help doctors get consistent results, no matter which software they use.
