Figure 2From: Sepsis protects the myocardium and other organs from subsequent ischaemic/reperfusion injury via a MAPK-dependent mechanism Sepsis protects the isolated heart against ischaemia/reperfusion injury - LVP max . Line graph depicting LVPmax in isolated hearts, control and animals subjected to the CLP procedure (n = 7 per group), demonstrating that sepsis reduces myocardial function with lower LVPmax at baseline, but protects the heart against ischaemia/reperfusion injury with more rapid functional recovery at reperfusion.Back to article page
