Figure 7. Angpt-2 Level Trajectory: Septic Patients With or Without Inotropes.
Angpt-2 level trajectories were plotted for the first 4-days of illness. Angpt-2 levels decreased by 20% per day in patients with sepsis requiring inotropic support (n=14; p=0.007) and did not vary in those without an inotropic requirement (n=14; p=0.94). The group with sepsis on inotropes decreased 26% more daily compared to the non-inotrope group (p=0.04).
