Myocardial dysfunction at sepsis

The article represents etiological mechanisms of the myocardial dysfunction at sepsis, features of changing of the chronotropic and inotropic effects in myocardium as the result of injuring by the inflammatory mediators, cytokines. Also the impact of pathological tachycardia on the diastolic function is represented as the key reason of the myocardial dysfunction which cause difficulties in the correction of hemodynamics in patients with sepsis. The ways of solving the pathological tachycardia are suggested.
