[The cardiovascular effects of sevoflurane].
The cardiovascular effects of sevoflurane as published from clinical and experimental studies are reviewed with respect to general haemodynamics and organ perfusion. Sevoflurane appears to be quite similar to isoflurane, with some minor exceptions. In adult patients and volunteers, sevoflurane has not been associated with increases in heart rate, whereas isoflurane and desflurane caused significant increases in heart rate at higher concentrations. The coronary vasodilatory potency of sevoflurane appears to be lower than that of isoflurane, and sevoflurane has not been associated with a reduction of blood flow to collateral-dependent myocardium in dogs with steal-prone anatomy. In several multi-center studies where patients with coronary artery disease or at high risk for coronary artery disease were randomised to receive either sevoflurane or isoflurane for cardiac or non-cardiac surgery, the incidence of myocardial ischaemia and infarction did not differ between treatment groups. In both human and animal models, sevoflurane preserves cerebral blood flow and reduces cerebral metabolic rate much like isoflurane. Considering its favourable pharmacokinetic properties, the introduction of sevoflurane into clinical practice appears to be a promising extension of the anaesthetic spectrum.
