https://doi.org/10.37615/retic.v6n3a13Keywords:
septic cardiomyopathy, sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy, sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction, echocardiographyAbstract
39-year-old female patient who was ongoing a prolonged stay at an austere General Hospital due to complications of abdominal surgery showing sudden worsening of circulatory function and high requirement of vasoactive drugs whose initial diagnosis suspicion was pulmonary thromboembolism. Correct and timely visualization of echocardiographic images avoided life threatening complications of its treatment by identifying cardiomyopathy due to sepsis as the cause of severe circulatory failure.
