Hyperdynamic LV Function in Septic Patie...

Eddy Joe Gutierrez, MD
About this episode

In this episode of The Saving Lives Podcast, we dive into a compelling study from the Annals of Intensive Care, exploring the prevalence and impact of hyperdynamic left ventricular systolic function in septic patients. Unpacking the findings, we discuss how this condition influences mortality rates and what it means for clinical practice in intensive care units.
