Abstract
One of the serious sepsis complications is a reversible
cardiac dysfunction. We present a case report
about 31 years old female patient with sepsis following
abortion. Diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction
was based on echocardiography data (decreased
left ventricle ejection fraction, systolic and diastolic
dysfunction of the left ventricle) and laboratory tests
(increase in hsTnI and BNP level). The appropriate
treatment (antibiotics, fluids, dopamine, noradrenaline)
was effective. After 13 days of treatment in the
intensive care unit, the complete recovery from sepsis
and gradual improvement of the cardiac function
were confirmed and the patient was referred to the
cardiology unit.
