Sevoflurane's Effect on Mitral Valve Annular Velocity in Cardiac Surgery

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine sevoflurane's dose-dependent effect on left ventricular (LV) function in cardiac surgery. The change of tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) of lateral mitral valve annular velocity at three different sevoflurane concentrations would be analyzed by using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE)in cardiac surgery patients.
