Fig. 3From: Sevoflurane effects on left atrial performance: a transesophageal echocardiographic study on patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graftingComparative changes of left atrial volumetric function throughout the cardiac cycle before (filled circle) and after (filled triangle) 1 MAC sevoflurane anesthesia. LA-FAC (%); left atrial functional area change, LA-TEF (%); left atrial total emptying fraction (left atrial reservoir function %), LA-PEF (%); left atrial passive emptying fraction (left atrial conduit function %), LA-AEF (%); left atrial active pump function. * Denotes significance based on paired t testBack to article page
