Serum Levels of Branched Chain Amino Acids Predict Duration of Cardiovascular Organ Failure in Septic Shock

Conclusions: Among patients with septic shock, BCAA concentrations independently predict time to shock resolution. This study provides hypothesis generating data into the potential contribution of BCAAs to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular failure in sepsis, opening areas for future investigations.
