Abstract
Depression of myocardial function during severe sepsis, which currently accounts for approx. 200,000 deaths/year in the United States (1), is characterized by a decrease in contractility and a poor response to fluid therapy (2). Since the md-1980s it has been recognized that the decreased cardiac function, which undoubtedly contributes to the overall pathophysiology of the septic state, does not arise from factors that are intrinsic to the myocardium, but instead results from the presence of circulating myocardial depressant factors (3, 4). Since much of the massive inflammation and multi-organ dysfunction in sepsis result from the secretion of various cytokines, it was long suspected that these proteins were also responsible, at least in part, for the observed myocardial dysfunction, although their identification, and the molecular basis for their effects on myocyte function were poorly understood.
