Alterations in the maximal rates of ventricular pressure increase (+dP/dtmax, A) and decrease (−dP/dtmax, B) in sham-operated animals (Sham) and septic animals treated with normal saline (Vehicle) or ghrelin (Ghrelin) at 20 h after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Data are expressed as means ± SE (n=6–7/group) and compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student-Newman-Keuls method: *P<0.05 versus sham-operated animals; #P<0.05 versus CLP animals treated with vehicle.
