Contractile responses of cardiomyocytes as a function of time (0–48 h) after (A) sham surgery or (B) CLP. Companion cultures were exposed to 5.0 or 10.0 nM rrC5a. Deterioration of contractile responses of sham and CLP cardiomyocytes as a function of duration (0–60 min) of exposure of cells to 1 nM rrC5a (C). Immediately after the periods of exposure to C5a, cardiomyocytes were evaluated for contractile responses. For each time point indicated, ≥20 cells were evaluated.
