Excerpt

Afterload-related cardiac performance (ACP) was developed to describe cardiac function in patients with sepsis, when cardiac output (CO) is increased due to a decline in systemic vascular resistance (SVR). We now studied the prognostic relevance of ACP in comparison with the cardiac index (CI) and cardiac power index (CPI) in patients at a very early stage of community-acquired sepsis (CAS) in the Emergency Department. …
