Excerpt

Septic shock is a common cause of hemodynamic instability. To optimize management, causative mechanisms need to be determined early in the process. Early diagnosis and intervention remain very important aspects in establishing a favourable outcome. Fortunately, early diagnosis can be facilitated with good clinical acumen and aided with bedside echocardiography, as illustrated in the following case. The Research Ethics Committee of the Montreal Heart Institute granted approval for the use of the related echocardiographic images for research and educational purposes. …
