Summary
Anaesthetics may impair the diastolic function of the heart, but the importance of this
finding for patients has not been sufficiently examined. Specially the effects on diastolic
function in patients with diastolic dysfunction has to be determined. The aim of this study
is to examine the effect of isoflurane (only part I), sevoflurane and desflurane (part I+II)
on the diastolic left ventricular function by doppler echocardiography.
