Abstract

Left ventricular performance was monitored serially in 25 patients during laryngoscopy and intubation in the anesthetic induction period before elective coronary artery bypass surgery using the labeled equilibrium blood pool and the computerized nuclear probe. Left ventricular ejection fraction was obtained preoperatively, after induction of anesthesia but before endotracheal intubation, immediately after intubation, and at 1 minute intervals thereafter for 10 minutes. In all patients, there was an immediate decrease (mean 16%) in left ventricular ejection fraction accompanying the reflex hypertension and tachycardia occurring during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation; it was significantly depressed for 3 minutes with the concomitant hemodynamic changes. Seven patients did not demonstrate a recovery of left ventricular ejection fraction to the preintubation value. In 10 healthy noncardiac patients undergoing orthopedic surgery, after an identical anesthetic induction sequence and intubation, there was a similar decrease in ejection fraction, but of shorter duration. In these patients the recovery of left ventricular performance preceded the recovery of blood pressure and heart rate. This study demonstrates that profound d...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
