Abstract

Objective: We investigate the measurement of longitudinal myocardial strain by speckle tracking echocardiography for the diagnosis of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction. Subject and method: This is a prospective, observational study on 90 patients with septic shock and 37 patients with sepsis according to criteria of SCCM/ESICM (2016). This study was perfomed at 108 Military Central Hospital from June 2017 to December 2018. Transthoracic echocardiography and speckle tracking echocardiography for all patients within 24 hours of diagnostic onset. Result: Global longitudinal strain in septic shock group was significant greater than sepsis group (-14.6 ± 3.3% vs -17.1 ± 3.3%, p<0.01). However, left ventricular ejection fraction between 2 group did not differ (p>0.05). Conclusion: Speckle tracking echocardiography is more sensitive than the conventional echocardiography for the early detection of left ventricular systolic dysfunction.
