Cardiac dysfunction in sepsis is characterized by decreased contractility, impaired ventricular response to fluid therapy, progressive ventricular dilatation and myocardial depression [ 124, 127].
When the lymphatic vasculature is impaired, or becomes overwhelmed over time, fluid and macromolecule buildup occurs, leading to irresolvable and progressive swelling.
