Objective: Since beta-blocker therapy is known to be effective in patients with an injured heart, such as infarction, we designed the present study to examine the protective effects of infusion of the beta(1)-selective blocker esmolol on myocardial function in peritonitis-induced septic rats using an isolated working heart preparation.Design: Randomized animal study.Setting: University research laboratory.Subjects: Thirty-one rats treated with cecal ligation and perforation to evoke peritonitis.Interventions: After cecal ligation and perforation, rats were randomly allocated to the control group (normal saline 2 mL/hr, n = 11), low-dose esmolol group (10 mg/kg/hr, n = 10), or high-dose esmolol group (20 mg/kg/hr, n = 10). After obtaining blood samples for measurement of arterial lactate and tumor necrosis factor-alpha at 24 hrs, we assessed cardiac output, myocardial oxygen consumption, and cardiac efficiency (cardiac output x peak systolic pressure/myocardial oxygen consumption) at various preloads in an isolated perfused heart preparation.Measurements and Main Results: Esmolol infusion did not cause an elevation of arterial lactate levels but reduced tumor necrosis factor-alpha concentrations vs. the control group (p
