Abstract Introduction Low cardiac output states such as left heart failure are characterized by preserved oxygen extraction ratio which is in contrast to severe sepsis. Near infrared spectroscopy NIRS allows noninvasive estimation of skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation StO2 . The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between StO2 and mixed venous oxygen saturation SvO2 in patients with severe left heart failure with or without additional severe sepsis or septic shock. Methods Sixty-five patients with severe left heart failure due to primary heart disease were divided into two groups groups A n 24 and B n 41 included patients without and with additional severe sepsis septic shock respectively. Thenar muscle StO2 was measured using NIRS in the patients and in 15 healthy volunteers. Results StO2 was lower in group A than in group B and in healthy volunteers 58 13 90 7 and 84 4 respectively P . StO2 was higher in group B than in healthy volunteers P . In group A .
