Brief Summary: The mortality of septic shock remains high nowadays despite a trend toward improvement.Septic cardiomyopathy has been reported in most experimental models of sepsis shock. Its relationship with mortality is unclear. A decrease in mortality have been reported in patients with decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), but a recent meta-analysis did not support such results. In fact, it appears that high LVEF are linked to profound vasoplegia which is associated to bad outcome.

In the other hand, alterations of Strain echocardiography, a new method allowing a more sensitive evaluation of heart function, have been associated with a worse outcome in sepsis patients. Only few studies have examined echocardiographic strain during sepsis shock in human, and its natural history was only described in pigs. Moreover, the right ventricular strain was reported only by Orde et al whereas the evolution of strain during fluid infusion have never been studied. The aim of the present study is to describe the natural history of echocardiographic strain during sepsis shock and to determine its prognosis value.
