Fig 1 A decrease in EF and increased end-diastolic volume are commonly observed in septic shock. Stroke volume (SV)=LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV)−LV end-systolic volume (LVESV). EF+SV/LVEDV. (a) Normal myocardium; SV=70 ml, EF=(120−50)/120=0.58. (b) Septic myocardium; SV=70 ml, EF=(180−110)/180=0.39.
