Feasibility and discriminatory value of tissue motion annular displacement in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy: a single-center retrospective observational study

Abstract

Abstract Background There is no formal diagnostic criterion for sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM), but left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 0.9). Patients with lower TMADMid (< 9.75 mm) had significantly higher 28d and in-hospital mortality (both p < 0.05). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model revealed that BMI and SOFA were the independent risk factors for 28d and in-hospital mortality in sepsis cases, but TMAD was not. Conclusion STE-based TMAD is a novel and feasible technology with promising discriminatory value for predicting SICM with LVEF < 50%.
