Septic shock - Film n° 16

Acute cor pulmonale in a patient with septic shock due to pneumonia who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome. The long-axis view showed severe dilation of the right ventricle (which was larger than the left ventricle). The short-axis view revealed paradoxical septal movement (back-and-forth movement of the interventricular septum), indicative of systolic overload of the right ventricle.
