Fig. 8From: Targeting the eCIRP/TREM-1 interaction with a small molecule inhibitor improves cardiac dysfunction in neonatal sepsisrmCIRP impairs cardiac strain. In vivo rmCIRP exposures causes cardiac dysfunction as evidenced by changes in global longitudinal and radial strain and strain rate. 2 h after rmCIRP injection, mouse pups underwent echocardiogram. B modes images were analyzed using VivoStrain software. rmCIRP injection resulted in impaired a longitudinal strain and b strain rate as well as impaired c radial strain and d strain rate. Data are expressed as means ± SE and compared by two-tailed student’s t test (* p < 0.05 vs PBS control; PBS = 9, rmCIRP = 10)Back to article page
