Effect of exosomes on left ventricular pressure in isolated rabbit heart preparations

Copyright information:Taken from "Platelet-derived exosomes from septic shock patients induce myocardial dysfunction"http://ccforum.com/content/11/6/R120Critical Care 2007;11(6):R120-R120.Published online 8 Nov 2007PMCID:PMC2246209. Time course of positive and negative derivatives of left ventricular pressure after infusion of exosomes from septic patients and healthy volunteers. Data are mean ± standard error of the mean of nine experiments for exosomes derived from septic patients and five experiments for exosomes from healthy individuals. *< 0.05 versus baseline; < 0.05 versus 20 minutes (analysis of variance two-way, Tukey test). +dP/dt, maximal positive derivative of left ventricular pressure; -dP/dt, maximal negative derivative of left ventricular pressure.
