“…One possible explanation for this difference may be the very early assessment conducted by Bendary et al[ 1 ] (within 24 h of sepsis presentation), suggesting that further research is needed on role of strain in critically ill patients [ 27 ]. In truth it must be also admitted that the meta-analysis suggesting association between LV global longitudinal strain and mortality in septic patients lacks of a trial sequential analysis [ 28 ], thus leaving uncertainty on the robustness of its findings. A second issue regarding strain is that authors assessed the RV strain measuring free wall but they did not actually report their results, leaving uncertainties on the role of RV strain in early identification of septic cardiomyopathy and on its role as predictor of outcome.…”

Background Sepsis is a leading cause of death and it is characterized not only by profound vasoplegia but also by myocardial dysfunction. Critical care echocardiography is the preferred modality for the initial assessment of the cause of shock. Moreover, it can be extremely helpful in the identification of progressing myocardial dysfunction during the course of sepsis, also known as septic cardiomyopathy. Main body One of the issues in the identification of septic cardiomyopathy is that it can be manifest with different clinical phenotypes, from overt biventricular dysfunction to isolated left ventricular (LV) systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, from right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction to RV failure and dilatation. However, the commonly used echocardiography parameters for the assessment of LV and/or RV function are not always entirely reliable. Indeed, these are influenced by variable preload and afterload conditions imposed by critical illness such as fluid shifts, sedation level and mechanical ventilation with positive pressure. Conclusions Strain echocardiography is a promising tool for the early identification of myocardial dysfunction in the context of sepsis. Studies reporting data on strain echocardiography should be particularly detailed in order to increase the reproducibility of results and to favor comparison with future studies.
