Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the occurrence of dynamic left intraventricular obstruction (IVO) in septic shock patients and its relationship with volume status, fluid responsiveness, and mortality rates.
- Out of 218 septic shock patients, 22% exhibited IVO, with a significantly higher 28-day mortality rate in those affected (55% vs. 33%).
- Findings revealed that patients with IVO had hypercontractile left ventricles and demonstrated marked improvements in stroke index and reduced IVO after fluid infusions, indicating a strong link between IVO and fluid responsiveness.
