Multicenter Study
[ECAIS study: inadvertent cardiovascular adverse events in sepsis].
To describe the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in patients with sepsis in its various stages. ⋯ In this study patients with sepsis showed a low incidence of cardiovascular ischemic events. In contrast, arrhythmic events showed a high incidence. Conventional monitoring failed to detect any of the ischemic events and most arrhythmic events. In this study, cardiovascular events generated by adrenergic discharge had no impact upon mortality.
