Myocardial oxidative stress correlates with left ventricular dysfunction on strain echocardiography in a rodent model of sepsis
Abstract Background Recognition of cardiomyopathy in sepsis can be challenging due to the limitations of conventional measures such as ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) in the context of variable preload and afterload conditions. This study correlates myocardial function using st...
