SCCM Resource Library-Diagnosis and Imaging of Septic Cardiomyopathy

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Siddharth Dugar discusses the diagnosis and imaging of sepsis cardiomyopathy. Sepsis is a dysregulated inflammatory response that affects every organ in the body, with the cardiovascular system being a central component. Sepsis cardiomyopathy is the dysfunction of the heart in sepsis patients, and it is challenging to differentiate from cardiovascular dysfunction. Early diagnosis is crucial, as it can affect both systolic and diastolic function of the ventricles. Various imaging modalities, such as echocardiogram, MRI, and biomarkers, can be used to diagnose sepsis cardiomyopathy, but echocardiogram is considered the primary tool. Different measurements, such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and strain, are used to assess cardiac function. Additionally, measurements of left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function are also important. The future of diagnosing and treating sepsis cardiomyopathy lies in more load-independent variables, ventricular arterial coupling, severity assessment, interactive models, automation, and exploring the phenotype with increased myocardial activity.
