From: TLR2 stimulation induces cardiac inflammation but not cardiac depression in vivo
Hemodynamic parameters in WT- and LTA-treated mice. A-G: Cardiovascular function as measured with a pressure-volume catheter 4 h after LTA stimulation (15 or 30 mg/kg i.p.). LTA challenge did not influence hemodynamic parameters at this time point compared to control (HR = heart rate, ESP = end-systolic pressure, SV = stroke volume, EF = ejection fraction, first derivative of pressure rise = dP/dtmax, first derivative of pressure fall = dP/dtmin, CO = cardiac output; n = 6; mean ± SEM). H: Control recordings of arterial blood pressure (artBP) performed with a pressure catheter 6 h after LTA stimulation (15, 30 or 50 mg/kg i.p.). No influence on blood pressure after LTA challenge was observed (systolic arterial blood pressure (syst.); diastolic arterial blood pressure (diast.); n = 6; mean ± SEM).
