  1. Data for isolated heart preparations are from nine experiments for septic exosomes and five experiments for control exosomes; data for isolated papillary muscle preparations are from eight experiments for septic exosomes and four experiments for control exosomes. +dP/dtmax, maximal positive derivative of left ventricular pressure; -dP/dtmax, maximal negative derivative of left ventricular pressure; DTmax, maximal developed tension of isolated papillary muscle; +dT/dt, positive temporal derivative of developed tension; -dT/dt, negative temporal derivative of developed tension.
