We suggest that the research pathway for such trials should be based on prognostic enrichment through clinical and cardiovascular or immune biomarker profiles, and initially use established drugs that modify cardiometabolic risk in ICU survivors who might not have traditionally recognised cardiovascular risk factors, through randomised controlled trials led by intensive care specialists. Post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) often occurs after prolonged critical illnesses, such as COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome, and involves persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism. ./cache/cord-254818-dzsyuwpy.txt ./txt/cord-254818-dzsyuwpy.txt
