About the Case Presentation
Cardiac dysfunction is common in sepsis and septic shock, requiring careful evaluation for optimal management. Echocardiography is the cornerstone for assessing myocardial function, including ejection fraction and cardiac output. It detects ventricular dilation, reduced contractility, or other abnormalities. Biomarkers like troponins and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) help identify myocardial injury and stress. Hemodynamic monitoring, using tools like pulmonary artery catheters or pulse contour analysis, provides insights into cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. Early identification of cardiac dysfunction enables tailored interventions.
