May support thiopentone for lowering myocardial O2 demand in stable IHD; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does thiopentone affect cardiac performance and myocardial oxygen consumption in patients with stable ischemic heart disease?
Thiopentone induction in patients with stable ischemic heart disease substantially decreases myocardial oxygen requirements without inducing myocardial dysoxia or clinically significant cardiodepression.
Reiz et al. (1981) studied this question.
