Figure 1From: Effects of selective β1-adrenoceptor blockade on cardiovascular and renal function and circulating cytokines in ovine hyperdynamic sepsisCardiac effects of atenolol in ovine hyperdynamic sepsis. Changes in heart rate, cardiac output and stroke volume in conscious sheep during a 24-hour baseline period and during 24 hours of sepsis induced by intravenous administration of E. coli in a control group and a group treated with atenolol from 8 to 24 hours of sepsis. Mean ± SEM, n = 8/group. *P <0.01 for group comparison.Back to article page
