FIZZ ICU

Left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOTO) can be seen in the ICU due to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and SAM or SAM by itself.

Treating LV systolic dysfunction at the physiological level is extremely important since patients are not all the same.

Definition: the stretch of the cardiomyocytes at the end of diastole.

We give fluids in resuscitation because of the oxygen delivery equation.
