Why the study?
To investigate the association between the severities of left ventricular systolic dysfunction and clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis, specifically focusing on in-hospital mortality.
Does severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction increase in-hospital mortality in adult patients with sepsis or septic shock?
Does severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction increase in-hospital mortality in adult patients with sepsis or septic shock?
Severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF < 30%) is independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality in patients with sepsis, highlighting the importance of early cardiac function assessment.
Severe LV systolic dysfunction signals higher sepsis mortality; supports early echo evaluation but leaves causal impact and practice change open.
