Conventional and afterload-adjusted measurements of left ventricular ejection fraction and velocity-time integral in assessing septic cardiomyopathy; a prospective longitudinal study
2022-06-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> The role of echocardiography in septic shock is still problematic, since depressed cardiac afterload may overestimate left ventricular (LV) systolic performance and mask septic cardiomyopathy (SC). We hypothesized that afterload-adjusted LV ejection fraction (LVEF) and LV outflow tract velocity-time integral (VTI) values for given systemic vascular resistances (SVR) could provide novel insigh...
