Heart injury from sepsis in critically ill children
Part of Heart & circulation, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how sepsis (a severe infection) can harm the heart in critically ill children. The goal is to better understand and manage this heart injury to improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 month and 18 years old
- Your child must be critically ill (usually in the intensive care unit)
- Your child must have sepsis (a severe, body-wide infection)
- Your child cannot have congenital heart disease (a heart problem present at birth)
- Your child cannot have acquired heart disease (such as from rheumatic fever, heart muscle inflammation, or cardiomyopathy)
- Your child cannot have had heart surgery

This study uses a special ultrasound to see how sepsis, a severe infection, affects the heart's function in newborns. It compares newborns with sepsis to healthy newborns to understand the impact and help improve care.
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.
This trial tests a new mathematical model to better diagnose and treat heart problems caused by sepsis. It includes adults with sepsis or septic shock who need strong blood pressure support.
This trial looks at how sepsis (a severe response to infection) affects the heart, specifically whether it causes inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis). It may help understand and improve care for people with sepsis.
This study looks at whether people with sepsis (a severe infection) develop new heart rhythm problems while in the intensive care unit seeking to understand patterns and outcomes. If you're admitted with sepsis stub the aim is to prevent or better treat these complications.
This study uses special blood testing to learn what is happening in the immune system during sepsis in children and how it may relate to organ injury. Your results may help doctors recognize and treat sepsis earlier and more accurately.
