RT-PCR analysis of three and six day post-infarction epicardial samples showed a consistent downregulation of uroplakin 3b, proline rich 15, dermokine, Efemp-1, sulfatase-1, and basonuclin compared to sham operated hearts (Figure S3).
Unfortunately, Zausig and colleagues did not compare the cardiovascular effects of the same anaesthetics in the sham operated hearts [ 1], so we cannot identify whether the magnitude of cardiovascular deterioration was the same for sepsis hearts versus normal hearts.

Three studies did not find differences in self-reports of children with operated heart defects compared to a reference group, thus contrasting proxy reports [ 18, 23, 34].
Proxy-reports by teachers did not reveal any significant differences in behavior between children with operated heart defects and controls [ 21, 22] except for one study, which reported more behavioral difficulties in operated children compared to controls [ 33].
Finally, the parents of children with operated heart defects themselves may play an important role with regard to the child's long-term psychological adjustment [ 23, 31] and quality of life [ 43, 45, 46].
Ten days later, flow cytometry and epifluorescent microscopy revealed that the number of GFP+ cardioblasts in pre-pulsed sham-operated hearts was similar to that measured in sham-operated hearts pulsed post-sham surgery [0.18 ± 0.11% (Fig 6F and G) versus 0.12 ± 0.06% (Fig 1B and C)].
The immunofluorescent and protein amount expressions of laminin-α2 were similar in SSI and sham-operated hearts.
The FFR for sham and banded hearts is shown in Figure 3 F. In sham-operated hearts, this relationship was initially positive over the range 400 500 bpm before LV developed pressure (LVDP) declined at higher heart rates.
Of note, from the 294 differentially expressed genes comparing LAD-ligated vsham-operateded hearts we removed Xist from the list in Supplementary Table 3 because of current experiments performed to assess sex differences between the cohorts.
To identify CaMKII-dependent inflammatory pathways, we performed unbiased and systematic RNA analyses by Affymetrix chip arrays in cardiac samples at 1 and 5 days after I/R injury versus sham-operated hearts.
Control values of sham-operated hearts (heart rate 309 ± 4 beats/min, LVP contractility (+dLVP/dt) 3275 ± 84 mmHg/sec, LVP relaxation (-dLVP/dt) 2629 ± 74 mmHg/sec, cardiac work 36036 ± 639 mmHg/beats, and myocardial oxygen supply (DO2)/myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) ratio 1.5 ± 0.0 were statistically different from control values of septic hearts.
