Guidelines recommend urgent resuscitation of patients with sepsis, although the ideal treatment regimen is not clear and challenges to resuscitation, including the management of sepsis-related cardiac dysfunction, remain. How preexisting cardiac disease is associated with outcomes is poorly understood. This study characterizes heterogeneity in cardiac function prior to sepsis and describes associations with hospitalization outcomes and mortality.}", issn = {0098-7484}, doi = {10.1001/jama.2024.3917}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2024.3917}, eprint = {/journals/jama/articlepdf/2817349/jama\_iyer\_2024\_ld\_240015\_1714069809.51196.pdf}, }
