In adult septic shock, global left ventricular hypokinesia is frequent, may be unmasked by norepinephrine, and is typically correctable with inotropic support.
Global left ventricular hypokinesia is very frequent in adult septic shock and could be unmasked, in some patients, by norepinephrine treatment. Left ventricular hypokinesia is usually corrected by addition of an inotropic agent to the hemodynamic support.
Vieillard‐Baron et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
