Myocardial function ex vivo (LPS=lipopolysaccharide; LVt=low tidal volume (V_t) ventilation, HVt=high V_tventilation). A. Left ventricular (LV) systolic pressure. B. LV diastolic pressure. C. LV developed pressure decreased by the interaction between LPS installation and HVt ventilation. D. LV contractility, measured as +dP/_dtmax, decreased by the interaction between LPS installation and HVt ventilation. E. LV relaxation, measured as –dP/dt_min, decreased by the interaction between LPS installation and HVt ventilation. F. LV pCa₅₀.
