Beneficial versus detrimental effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors in circulatory shock: lessons learned from experimental and clinical studies

Septic shock is a physiological derangement of the cardiovascular system characterized by pathological vasodilation. Recent studies have established a role for nitric oxide, previously known as endothelium-derived relaxing factor, in the vascular dysfunction of sepsis. This finding suggests that inh...
