Brief Summary
The overall aim of the study is to establish the clinical importance of cardiac dysfunction, by estimating its incidence and impact on short- and long-term outcomes, in a mixed population of critically ill patients with multi-organ failure. Pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction in critical illness and key molecules linked to this will be explored.

Study Arms (2)
Normal left ventricular systolic function
Patients with normal echocardiographic systolic function, defined as having left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% and no regional hypokinesia
Left ventricular dysfunction
Patients with echocardiographic left ventricular systolic dysfunction, defines as having left ventricular ejection fraction \< 50% or left ventricular regional hypokinesia in at least two adjacent segments
Interventions
All patients in the study will be examined with echocardiography
Sub-group of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction will be examined with cMRI
Sub-group of patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction will be examined with CCT
Eligibility Criteria
Patients with significant multi-organ dysfunction being admitted to a participaing ICU within 24 hours
You may qualify if:
- Patients aged \> 18 years
- Admitted to a participating ICU within 24 hours
- Significant organ dysfunction involving at least two organ systems. This is defined as fulfilling both of the following:
- At least 4 points on the SOFA scale (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scale)
- Having at least 1 point on the SOFA scale from at least two organ systems
- Given informed consent from patient or permission to participate from next of kin
You may not qualify if:
- Echocardiographic examination not possible (e.g., pneumothorax, draping etc) or very low echocardiographic examination quality
- Retracted consent to participate
