Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction

Current Opinion in Critical Care
Keith R Walley

Abstract

Sepsis leads to a complex intramyocardial inflammatory response that results in sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. Here, recent findings are reviewed in a physiologic context. Decreased systolic contractility during sepsis limits ventricular ejection and stroke volume. Initially, this effect is compensated for by increased diastolic filling during volume resuscitation. Reduced afterload due to arterial vasodilation also compensates so that cardiac output can be maintained or increased. Recent results recognize the importance of diastolic dysfunction, reduced ventricular diastolic compliance that impedes ventricular filling. Diastolic dysfunction becomes increasingly important as severity of septic shock increases. When impaired ventricular ejection is coupled with limited diastolic filling, stroke volume must decrease. Accordingly, diastolic dysfunction is more closely related to mortality than systolic dysfunction. Recent trials of beta-adrenergic agonists and levosimendan have been disappointing, while approaches to modulating the intramyocardial inflammatory response show promise. Sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to outcome of septic shock. Significant strides have b...Continue Reading

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
