NCT05633290

Brief Summary

Cardiac dysfunction is common following hospital admission with sepsis and one of the most frequent causes for readmissions to hospital, however underlying mechanisms by which this might occur are unclear. The CONDUCT-ICU investigators will conduct a pilot, cohort study, characterizing cardiac function in ICU survivors of sepsis using a combination of CMR imaging, biomarkers and patient reported outcome measures to investigate mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction following sepsis. Comparisons will be made to that of the general population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction

    LVEF is a validated marker of cardiovascular function. It can be used in diagnosis of heart failure and can assist in grading severity.

    6-10 weeks post hospital discharge

Secondary Outcomes (16)

  • hs-Troponin (ng/L)

    6-10 weeks post-hospital discharge

  • NT-proBNP (pg/ML)

    6-10 weeks post-hospital discharge

  • CRP (mg/L)

    6-10 weeks post discharge

  • IL-10 (pg/ml)

    6-10 weeks post discharge

  • IL-1B (pg/ml)

    6-10 weeks post discharge

  • +11 more secondary outcomes
