Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate echocardiography-based indices of myocardial function and markers of vascular inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in the early phases of severe sepsis.Material and Methods: Forty-five adult patients (67% women; age 51 +/- 18 years; Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Disease Classification System II score, 23 +/- 7) admitted to the intensive care unit up to 24 hours after fulfilling criteria for severe sepsis or septic shock were studied. Clinical, laboratorial (endothelin 1 [ET1], vascular cellular adhesion molecule 1), and echocardiographic data were collected within the first 24 hours and again 72 hours and 7 days after admission.Results: Intrahospital mortality was 33% (15 deaths). Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction (LV ejection fraction
