Atrial ejection force and brain natriuretic peptide as markers for mortality in sepsis

Conclusion Atrial ejection force on the first day of admission, unlike BNP level, might not be used as an independent predictor of mortality in patients with sepsis. BNP level correlates with the severity of sepsis. According to our study, AEF in the third day may be a good predictor for survival of patients presenting with sepsis.
