Abstract

Introduction: The detection of cardiac systolic dysfunction is very important for well management of pulmonary critical care patients ( PCCPs). However, there is a poor correlation between echocardiographic cardiac systolic function (CSF) parameters and it is not easy to obtain these parameters in PCCPs. Therefore, this cross-sectional observational study was planned for the detection of a more easily obtainable echocardiographic CSF parameter that is well correlated with other CSF parameters in PCCPs.
