One of the primary reasons for this concept is that systolic dysfunction is relatively easy to conceptualize visualize and measure. With the advent of preload-independent measurements for diastolic function both measurement and conceptual difficulties are being resolved and a new realm of evidence is beginning to emerge regarding the aberrations that are found during cardiac relaxation in sepsis. A recent article in Critical Care brings this issue into sharper focus. In the previous issue of Critical Care Joulin and colleagues 1 describe an animal model of lipopolysaccharide LPS -induced impaired myocardial systolic and diastolic function. Diastole is composed of two physiological phenomena myocardial stiffness which is energy independent and active relaxation which is an ATP-requiring process 2 . Current echocardiographic techniques can help distinguish which of the two is the predominant pathway although these techniques may not always be practical in critically ill patients 3 . In some patients with sepsis a reversible component to impaired ventricular relaxation has been demonstrated 4 which would imply that the energy-requiring component of diastolic
