Detecting impaired myocardial relaxation in sepsis with a novel tissue Doppler parameter (septal e′/s′)

Abstract Background Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is associated with mortality outcomes in severe sepsis and septic shock. There are ongoing issues with diagnosing diastolic dysfunction in this cohort, partly owing to the poor applicability of traditional parameters in the hyperdynamic circ...
