From: Cardiovascular response to dobutamine stress predicts outcome in severe sepsis and septic shock
(a) Baseline right ventricular end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) in survivors and non-survivors. Baseline RVEDVI was similar in both survivors and non-survivors. (b) Change in RVEDVI from baseline at the point of maximum cardiac index response. The mean increase in RVEDVI was significantly greater in survivors than non-survivors (p = 0.0047). Dash indicates mean values.
