Abstract

A patient with gram-negative sepsis developed acute global biventricular dysfunction with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. A diagnosis of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) was made following the complete resolution of cardiac dysfunction. This case highlights the importance of the early diagnosis of SICM and treatment of the underlying cause.
