Popis: Diastolic dysfunction as evaluated by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI), particularly by E/E' ratio (peak early diastolic transmitral velocity/peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity) and mitral annular E'-wave, is common and crucial in critical illness. Our prospective observational study assessed the prognostic significance of TDI variables versus cardiac biomarkers, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), troponin-T (TnT) and investigated determinants of plasma BNP rise, in septic shock.
