Abstract

Introduction: Sepsis leads to left and/or right ventricular systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction resulting in adverse outcomes. Myocardial dysfunction can be diagnosed by echocardiography (ECHO) and early intervention can be planned. There are lacunae in Indian literature regarding the true incidence of septic cardiomyopathy and its influence on the outcome of patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on patients consecutively admitted with sepsis to the ICU of a tertiary care hospital in North India. In these patients, ECHO was performed after 48–72 hours to establish left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, in whom the ICU outcome was analyzed. Result: The incidence of LV dysfunction was 14%. About 42.86% of patients had isolated systolic dysfunction, 7.14% of patients had isolated diastolic dysfunction, and 50.00% of patients had combined LV systolic and diastolic dysfunctions. The average days of mechanical ventilation in patients without LV dysfunction group (group I) was 2.41 ± 3.82 days as compared to 4.43 ± 4.27 days in patients with LV dysfunction (group II) (p = 0.034). Incidence of all-cause ICU mortality was 11 (12.79%) in group I and 3 (21.43%) in group II (p = 0.409). The mean duration of stay in ICU was 8.26 ± 4.41 days in group I as compared to 13.21 ± 6.83 days in group II. Conclusion: We concluded that sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) in ICU is quite prevalent and clinically significant. All-cause ICU mortality and length of ICU stay are prolonged in patients with SICM.
