Abstract

Effects of fluroxene and enflurane on myocardial mechanics of isolated papillary muscles obtained from cats with experimental congestive heart failure and from cats with normal hearts were compared. Significant impairment of myocardial performance, with elevated right ventricular pressure and reduce
