Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in septic shock

Abstract: Notwithstanding the known various interfering factors which limit the broad applicability of TEE to determine LV function in septic shock, our data suggest that cardiac dysfunction in septic shock shows a continuum from isolated diastolic dysfunction to both diastolic and systolic ventricular failure. These data strengthen the need of including the evaluation of pulmonary venous Doppler parameters in each investigation in order to obtain supplementary information to interpret diastolic function of the LV in se… Show more

“…Previous studies in critically ill patients have demonstrated that raised B-type natriuretic peptide levels correlate highly with poor left ventricular function as determined by trans-thoracic echocardiography [22]. As myocardial dysfunction is thought to be a marker of poor prognosis, particularly in septic shock [5,6], we hypothesised that this would be reflected in poorer survival. Although we found raised B-type natriuretic peptide levels in sepsis, levels were not increased in non-survivors.…”

“…Myocardial dysfunction is a common complication of critical illness, particularly septic shock, and is associated with poor outcome [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. This may not always be initially apparent due to adaptive responses [7].…”

“…26 Characterized by uncontrolled inflammation, sepsis is, among other severe organ dysfunctions, associated with impaired systolic and diastolic function. [27][28][29] Importantly, it is the overstimulated immune response, and not the infection in itself, that predominantly contributes to the cardiodepressant effects. 27 Although the pathophysiology of sepsis is of a different nature than heart failure induced by for instance pressure overload, it demonstrates the detrimental effects a dysregulated and sustained inflammatory response can exert on the heart.…”

“…La pente de cette droite, appelée élastance maximale (E max ), est un bon indice de contractilité ventriculaire, indé-pendant des conditions de charge. Il a été démontré, dans les modèles animaux de choc septique [6], mais aussi chez l'homme, que la pente de cette relation pression-volume télésystolique est déplacée en bas et à droite (diminution de E max ), témoignant d'une contractilité diminuée. Cette méthode d'évaluation nécessite plusieurs adaptations pour pouvoir être utilisée en pratique clinique : le volume télésystolique ventriculaire gauche peut être apprécié par la surface télésystolique en écho-graphie et la pression ventriculaire gauche par la pression aortique centrale ou fémorale (Figure 1).…”

“…La survenue d'une dilatation ventriculaire gauche au cours du choc septique reste source de controverse. Cette dilatation expliquerait pour certains le caractère « adapté » de la réponse en débit observée au cours du choc septique : elle correspondrait alors à un méca-nisme compensateur susceptible d'offrir aux ventricules la capacité de maintenir un débit cardiaque adapté grâce à la loi de Franck-Starling (Figure 3) [2,6]. La réalité de cette dilatation ventriculaire est toutefois incomplètement démontrée [6].…”
