propofol and Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular

propofol has been researched along with Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular in 1 studies

Propofol: An intravenous anesthetic agent which has the advantage of a very rapid onset after infusion or bolus injection plus a very short recovery period of a couple of minutes. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, 1st ed, p206). Propofol has been used as ANTICONVULSANTS and ANTIEMETICS.
propofol : A phenol resulting from the formal substitution of the hydrogen at the 2 position of 1,3-diisopropylbenzene by a hydroxy group.

Hypertrophy, Left Ventricular: Enlargement of the LEFT VENTRICLE of the heart. This increase in ventricular mass is attributed to sustained abnormal pressure or volume loads and is a contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The effects of propofol (10-1,000 microM) on myocardial contractility, relaxation, coronary flow and oxygen consumption were investigated in hearts from rabbits with pressure overload-induced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH group, n = 20) after aortic abdominal banding and from sham-operated control rabbits (SHAM group, n = 10), using an isolated and erythrocyte-perfused heart model."3.71Myocardial and coronary effects of propofol in rabbits with compensated cardiac hypertrophy. ( Coriat, P; Langeron, O; Mouren, S; Ouattara, A; Riou, B; Souktani, R, 2001)
