[Myocardial function analysis with echocardiography-Doppler in septic shock].

Septic shock is a severe sepsis associated with cardio-circulatory failure and tissular hypoperfusion. Echocardiography-Doppler remains essential for the assessment of myocardial function in septic shock. This ultrasound procedure helps clinicians for the analysis of left ventricular systolic function, left ventricular diastolic function, right ventricular function and cardiac filling.
