Objectives. Excess nitric oxide production is a key mediator of hypotension and catecholamine-resistance in septic shock. Although nitric oxide synthase blockade has been shown to restore hemodynamics, conflicting results on myocardial function were reported. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) knockout (iNOS-/-) mice showed improved heart function, but these results were obtained during hypodynamic shock characterized by reduced cardiac output. Therefore, we investigated heart function and catecholamine responsiveness in a clinically relevant, murine model of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced septic shock.Design: Prospective, controlled, randomized animal study.Setting. University animal research laboratory.Subjects. Male C57BI/6 wild-type and iNOS-/- mice.Interventions: Fifteen hours after CLP, three groups of mice (wild-type controls, n = 9; iNOS-/-, n = 12; and wild-type mice receiving 5 mg.kg(-1) intraperitoneally of the selective iNOS inhibitor GW274150 immediately after CLP, n = 8) were anesthetized, mechanically ventilated, and instrumented (central venous and left ventricular pressure-conductance catheter). Measurements were recorded 18, 21, and 24 hrs post-CLP. Hydroxyethylstarch and norepinephrine were infused to achieve normotensive and hyperdynamic hemodynamics.Measurements and Main Results: There was no intergroup difference in mean arterial pressure, stroke volume, and left ventricular ejection fraction. Norepinephrine doses required to achieve the hemodynamic targets were lower in GW274150 (p
