Abstract
In a clinically relevant murine model of sepsis, animals with LV dilation had better cardiovascular performance and increased survival. Our results suggest that LV dilation is associated with improved SV and CO, a pattern resulting in greatly improved survival. These studies highlight the importance of diastolic function in septic shock.
