Conscious Sedation with Midazolam or Propofol Does Not Alter Left Ventricular Diastolic Performance in Patients with Preexisting Diastolic Dysfunction: A Transmitral and Tissue Doppler Transthoracic Echocardiography Study

Abstract

Sedation with midazolam or propofol does not alter indices of left ventricular diastolic function in healthy patients and those with preexisting left ventricular filling abnormalities as evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography.
