Different effects of sevoflurane, desflurane, and isoflurane on early and late left ventricular diastolic function in young healthy adults

Abstract

Knowledge on the effects of volatile anaesthetics on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in humans in vivo is limited. We tested the hypothesis that sevoflurane, desflurane, and isoflurane do not impair LV diastolic function in young healthy humans
