Highlight: Mitochondrial Mechanisms in Septic Cardiomyopathy
The review article, “Mitochondrial Mechanisms in Septic Cardiomyopathy” by Cimolai and colleagues, examines the role that mitochondria may play in the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction, a well-described, life-threatening complication in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Despite current therapies that mostly aim to reduce systemic infection and inflammation, sepsis remains the bigg...
متن کاملBench-to-bedside review: Significance and interpretation of elevated troponin in septic patients
Because no bedside method is currently available to evaluate myocardial contractility independent of loading conditions, a biological marker that could detect myocardial dysfunction in the early stage of severe sepsis would be a helpful tool in the management of septic patients. Clinical and experimental studies have reported that plasma cardiac troponin levels are increased in sepsis and could...
متن کاملبررسی موارد سپسیس و شوک سپتیک در بخش مراقبت های ویژه بیمارستان مرکز طبی کودکان
Sepsis is the systemic response to severe infection in critically ill patients. Sepsis, septic syndrome & septic shock represent the increasingly severe stages of the same disease. Despite the remarkable improvements in outcome, sepsis & septic shock remain an important cause of morbidity & mortality in children. This is a retrospective study among the patients who were admitted in the pediatri...
متن کاملThe effect of physiologic dose of intravenous hydrocortisone in patients with refractory septic shock: a randomized control trial
Objective: Septic shock is a response to infection and tissue hypoperfusion which does not respond to fluid therapy and eventually leads to organ dysfunction. Aggressive treatment of a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and supportive measures are the cornerstones of successful treatment. In addition to the main treatment, there are adjunctive therapies. Steroids are one of the treat...
متن کاملStrain echocardiography in septic shock – a comparison with systolic and diastolic function parameters, cardiac biomarkers and outcome
INTRODUCTION Myocardial dysfunction is a well-known complication in septic shock but its characteristics and frequency remains elusive. Here, we evaluate global longitudinal peak strain (GLPS) of the left ventricle as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in septic shock. METHODS Fifty adult patients with septic shock admitted to a general intensive care unit were included. Transthoracic echocardi...
