Lactate infusion elevates cardiac output through increased heart rate and decreased vascular resistance: a randomised, blinded, crossover trial in a healthy porcine model

Abstract Background Lactate is traditionally recognized as a by-product of anaerobic metabolism. However, lactate is a preferred oxidative substrate for stressed myocardium. Exogenous lactate infusion increases cardiac output (CO). The exact mechanism underlying this mechanism has yet to be elucidat...
