Abstract
BACKGROUND:Sepsis iscaused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Aim:To assess of value
of advanced echocardiography in assessment of septic shock.Methods:a single center study that was
conducted on 90 patients with sepsis and septic shock. An informed consent was obtained from the
patients before enrollment. The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee of Faculty of
Medicine, Banha University.The collected data were revised, coded, tabulated, and statisticallyanalyzed.
Results:The mean age for patients with sepsis was 60.43years and 61.15for septic shock. Septic shock
group had significantly higher heart rate, lactate, higher frequency of vasopressor usewhen compared to
sepsis group. GLS showed a correlation with vasopressor use
Conclusion:Speckle tracking echocardiography is a good diagnostic tool for diagnosis of cardiomyopathy
in patients with septic shock.
