title: Hemodynamic and electrocardiographic effects of graded doses of amiodarone in healthy dogs anesthetized with morphine/alpha chloralose.
abstract: This research was designed to study acute hemodynamic and electrocardiographic effects of amiodarone and to determine an IV dose of amiodarone that minimally affects left ventricular function and does not increase the tendency for ventricular arrhythmia.
