| Description | Incidence of myocardial dysfunction in studies with severe sepsis patients is up to two thirds of patients. On the other site, patients with normal echocardiography have some type of myocardial injury, which can be detected by elevated serum levels of troponins and natriuretic peptides. Early diagnostics, assessment of prognosis and therapeutic strategy in patients with SMD are challenging for continuing research and for clinicians of different specialities. |
