Effect of Desflurane on Cardiac Function During Cardiac Surgery: Tissue Doppler Imaging of Mitral Valve Annular Velocity

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine desflurane'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 desflurane concentrations would be analyzed by using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in cardiac surgery patients
