Sepsis protects the isolated heart against ischaemia/reperfusion injury - (d)LVP. Line graph depicting developed LVP in isolated hearts, control and animals subjected to the CLP procedure (n = 7 per group), demonstrating that sepsis reduces myocardial function with lower (d)LVP at baseline, but protects the heart against ischaemia/reperfusion injury with more rapid functional recovery at reperfusion.
