Serial Echocardiographic Measurements before and 24 Hours after Normal Saline or Lipopolysaccharide Administration

Saline
 LPS (0.1 mg/kg)
Baseline 24 h Baseline 24 h
HR, beats/m 686 ± 12 698 ± 16 670 ± 20 675 ± 16
FS, % 49.8 ± 1.4 52.8 ± 1.9 51.7 ± 1.1 52.1 ± 1.2
LVEF, % 82.4 ± 1.3 85.1 ± 1.7 84.0 ± 1.0 84.5 ± 0.9
LVIDED, mm 3.1 ± 0.1 3.0 ± 0.1 3.2 ± 0.1 3.0 ± 0.0
LVIDES, mm 1.6 ± 0.1 1.4 ± 0.1 1.5 ± 0.1 1.5 ± 0.0

Values are mean ± SE, n = 5/group. FS = fractional shortening; HR = heart rate; LPS = lipopolysaccharide; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; LVIDED = left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter; LVIDES = left ventricular end-systolic internal diameter.
