Atrial ejection force and brain natriuretic peptide as markers for mortality in sepsis

Atrial ejection force and brain natriuretic peptide as markers for mortality in sepsis

Background: In early stages of septic shock, impaired myocardial function plays an important prognostic role. AEF and Plasma BNP level may be a valuable prognostic factor for patients with sepsis. Objective: We aimed also to evaluate the value of atrial ejection force (AEF) B-type natriuretic peptid...
