Peripheral and Cardiac Factors in Experimental Septic Shock
Abstract
Peripheral pooling mechanisms apparently predominate in the early phase of endotoxin shock in bringing about a decrease in cardiac output. Left ventricular function appears to be entirely normal and only a longer sustained period of hypotension would be expected to bring about impairment of myocardial performance. A variety of indirect mechanisms resulting from poor systemic hemodynamic status may ultimately contribute to myocardial failure in the later stages of shock.
