Subpressor calcium infusion increases isovolumic left ventricular relaxation time and atrial natriuretic peptide in humans.

abstract：:The therapeutic potential of the antimicrobial peptide cathelicidin (Camp) administration in sepsis has been widely investigated. However, little is known about the pathophysiological roles of cathelicidin in septic cardiomyopathy. In a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxaemic model, we found that the mRNA and pr...
