<h4>Background</h4>Myocardial failure has a central role in the complex pathophysiology of septic shock and contributes to organ failure and death. During the sepsis-induced inflammatory process, specific factors are released that depress myocardial contractile function. We aimed to identify these mediators of myocardial depression in meningococcal septic shock.<h4>Methods</h4>We combined gene-expression profiling with protein and cellular methods to identify a serum factor causing cardiac dysfu ...[more]
