Heart and blood vessel function in sepsis
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well the heart and blood vessels work together in people with sepsis or septic shock. It may help doctors understand heart function better during serious infections, which could lead to improved care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with sepsis or septic shock.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have severe narrowing of the aortic valve or more than mild leakage in the mitral valve.
- You do not have an unstable irregular heart rhythm (like atrial fibrillation).
- You are not on kidney dialysis and, if you need a ventilator, you are on a continuous mode (not intermittent).

This study looks at how checking heart function with an ultrasound during early sepsis treatment can help guide fluid and medication decisions. It may lead to better recovery by tailoring treatment to each patient's heart.
This study looks at how the heart and blood vessels respond during a severe infection called sepsis. It may help doctors understand and treat this condition better.
This trial looks at how well the heart and blood vessels are working in people with septic shock. It helps doctors decide the best way to reduce blood pressure medication safely.
This study looks at how a hormone system that controls blood pressure acts in people with septic shock (a severe infection causing low blood pressure). It compares patients with septic shock, sepsis without shock, cardiogenic shock, and healthy people to find differences that might lead to better treatments.
This study compares two methods to measure fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis and hypotension: cardiometry (non-invasive heart monitoring) and ultrasound of the IVC vein. The goal is to find a simpler way to guide treatment.
This study looks at how sepsis and other infections affect survival in hospitalized heart patients. It is designed for people who are being treated for a heart condition and either have no infection or have a specific type of infection or heart inflammation.
