Abstract

Assessment of cardiovascular function in man demands meticulous attention to the quality control of measurement and to the planning of studies. Little insight is gained by simply recording the effects of various anesthetics, general or regional, on the cardiovascular system, though of course such data are useful as baseline information. Most insight is gained by studying the response of the normal and the abnormal system to deliberate perturbations of its function.
