Cardiovascular disease incidence after sepsis is one of the
emerging health issues, especially among vulnerable older adults. In Hospital
admitted patient morbidity and mortality review, sepsis induced acute heart
failure is a great contribution which we sometimes overlook. A 42 yrs Diabetic,
H/O healthy cardiac status male patient presented as scrotal abscess admitted
in surgery ward and debridement done as a case of Fourniers gangrene under
regional anaesthesia. Patient had symptoms of cough, dyspnoea, frothy
secretions, high color urine and episodes of desaturation preoperatively. 4
hours following debridement patient develops marked dyspnoea, chest heaviness
with increased frothy secretions and shifted to intensive care unit. In
critical care comprehensive management patient symptomatically improved after 3
days of ICU care and shifted to ward. This study concludes that infection
induced acute heart failure should kept in mind in treating sepsis. Elevated
trop I is always not the cause of acute MI in sepsis.
