In septic shock, LPS released by esp gram negative bacteria damage endothelial vessels and cells which release nitric oxide and histamine. This causes vasodilation and hypotension. The released mediators also causemyocardial dyfxn. And in end stage shoch, a myocardial dpressant is also released by the pancreas. So my ans to your Q will be inc Preload, dec cardiac contractility and dec afterload
