We evaluated whether in sepsis, right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction (RVSD) predicts short-term all-cause mortality, independently to left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLS). This is a prospective observational study. We enrolled 252 septic patients (40% with shock) between October 2012 and July 2018 among those admitted to High-Dependency Unit. By echocardiography within 24 h from the admission (T1), RVSD was defined as Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) ' 16 mm, while left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) was defined by bi-dimensional speckle-tracking-based global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLS) ' -14%. We assessed all-cause mortality at day-7 and at day-28 from admission. Mortality rate was 14% by day-7 and 26% by day-28 follow-up. RVSD was found in 85 patients (34%), was isolated in 29% (25/85) and coexisted with LVSD in 71% (60/85) patients. LVSD was present in 63% of patients (159/252), and was isolated in 99 patients. Day-7 mortality rate was twofold higher in the presence of RVSD (20% vs 11%), without reaching the statistical significance (p = 0.097). By day-28, mortality rate was as high as 44% with and 23% without RVSD (p = 0.001). In a Cox survival analysis, RVSD predicted higher mortality rate by day-28 follow-up (RR 2.43, 95% CI 1.47–4.00, p = 0.001), independent to shock and in addition to LVSD. In sepsis, RVSD predicted all-cause mortality by day-28 follow-up, independent to LVSD.

Abstract
We evaluated whether in sepsis, right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction (RVSD) predicts short-term all-cause mortality, independently to left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLS). This is a prospective observational study. We enrolled 252 septic patients (40% with shock) between October 2012 and July 2018 among those admitted to High-Dependency Unit. By echocardiography within 24 h from the admission (T1), RVSD was defined as Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) ' 16 mm, while left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) was defined by bi-dimensional speckle-tracking-based global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLS) ' -14%. We assessed all-cause mortality at day-7 and at day-28 from admission. Mortality rate was 14% by day-7 and 26% by day-28 follow-up. RVSD was found in 85 patients (34%), was isolated in 29% (25/85) and coexisted with LVSD in 71% (60/85) patients. LVSD was present in 63% of patients (159/252), and was isolated in 99 patients. Day-7 mortality rate was twofold higher in the presence of RVSD (20% vs 11%), without reaching the statistical significance (p = 0.097). By day-28, mortality rate was as high as 44% with and 23% without RVSD (p = 0.001). In a Cox survival analysis, RVSD predicted higher mortality rate by day-28 follow-up (RR 2.43, 95% CI 1.47–4.00, p = 0.001), independent to shock and in addition to LVSD. In sepsis, RVSD predicted all-cause mortality by day-28 follow-up, independent to LVSD.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
