Changing anesthesiologists' practice patterns. Can it be done?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Load-dependent impairment of left ventricular (LV) function was observed after leg elevation in a subgroup of coronary surgery patients. The present study investigated underlying mechanisms by comparing hemodynamic effects of an increase in LV systolic pressures with leg elevation to effects of a similar inc...
