Sepsis Induced myocardial dysfunction

There are several cardiac abnormalities in sepsis identified by echocardiography. Questions remain regarding the best diagnostic and management strategies of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. Are our current definitions the best way to define sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction? Can identification of cardiac subphenotypes to guide resuscitation result in better outcomes ? A better understanding of individual patient responses in the sepsis state is an exciting potential for individualized and targeted care. This, combined with evolving technological echocardiographic assessment of the heart, holds potential for future transformative personalized approaches to resuscitation in sepsis.
