RESUMO
Sepsis is defined as the systemic inflammatory response to infection,with high morbidity, high mortality and high cost, which is the most common cause of death in ICU.The morbidity of sepsis-induced myocardial depression is about 37%~50%, and the mortality is 20% higher than simple sepsis. Although the research in sepsis-induced myocardial depression is deeper than ever before, the diagnostic standard of sepsis-induced myocardial depression is still unclear,the early diagnosis of sepsis-induced myocra-diald eprse sion seems patr icularly important.Nowd ays,ht e diga nostci ways include ce hocardiography,ivn asive andn oninvasive hemodynamic monitoring, electrocra diogram andb iological markers are the most common diang ostic methosd .This review discussed the diagnostic methdo s used in sepsis-induced myocardial deper ssion.
