Fig. 3

Transthoracic echocardiography of different imaging qualities performed in septic patients. A One patient with a legible image of the entire endocardium (LVEF, MAPSE, GLS and TMAD could be measured accurately); B One patient with an image that was legible for the apex and mitral annulus but indistinct for the LV lateral wall (TMAD and MAPSE could be measured, but LVEF and GLS could not be achieved accurately); C One patient with an indistinct image of the entire endocardium. (None of LVEF, MAPSE, GLS or TMAD could be measured accurately.) LVEF, left ventricle ejection fraction; MAPSE, mitral annular plane systolic excursion; GLS, global longitudinal strain; and TMAD, tissue motion annular displacement
