May be: Septic shock once treated properly is unlikely to cause low blood pressure for long term. Heart problems are possible during the shock stage and aftereffects can persist.

No: Typically if a patient survives this life threatening severe infection once the severe infection resolves blood pressure returns to normal and the heart function should return to normal as well.
