Strain echocardiography identifies impaired longitudinal systolic function in patients with septic shock and preserved ejection fraction
BACKGROUND: Myocardial dysfunction is recognized in sepsis. We hypothesized that mechanical left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular function analysed using 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography in a cohort of early severe sepsis or septic shock patients, would be different to that of a group...
