Popis: | A decreased heart rate variability is a marker of autonomic dysfunction and indicates poor prognosis in critically ill patients. In healthy volunteers, such a decreased heart rate variability can he reversibly induced by i.v. administration of endotoxin (Crit Care Med 24 :1117-1124). It is unknown if this effect is due to a direct impact of endotoxin on the heart, or if secondary release products are responsible herefore. Using isolated, spontaneously contracting neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (CM) we investigated if endotoxin narrows beating rate variability directly. |
