Effects of doxacurium chloride on biventricular cardiac function in patients with cardiac disease.

abstract：:The Walton-Brodie strain gauge arch is an instrument that quantitatively measures CF. Like many methods, the strain gauge arch is affected by loading conditions and heart rate. Nevertheless, this methodology, when properly used, has proved very useful in describing the direct action of anaesthetic drugs. Knowledge fro...
