Effects of amrinone on left and right ventricular function in patients with impaired myocardial performance during general anaesthesia.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The low and moderate doses of dexmedetomidine reduce arterial pressure and heart rate (HR), suggesting attenuation of sympathetic activity and dominance of cardiac-vagal activity. These autonomic responses under dexmedetomidine sedation may attenuate cardiovascular reflex responses to temporal reduction in a...
