Why the study?
Do etomidate, propofol, and midazolam inhibit calcium and potassium channel currents in canine ventricular cells?
Do etomidate, propofol, and midazolam inhibit calcium and potassium channel currents in canine ventricular cells?
Etomidate, propofol, and midazolam inhibit L-type calcium currents in canine ventricular cells with varying potencies (midazolam > propofol > etomidate), potentially explaining their differential negative inotropic effects.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution against extrapolating to patients; leaves open differential effects on human ventricular contractility.
