The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of isoproterenol on +dp/dt max and -dp/dt max under volatile anesthetics in rat. ⋯ Isoflurane has less effects on +dp/dt max and -dp/dt max, compared with halothane. It is possible that halothane, but not isoflurane, has some effects on the responsiveness to isoproterenol.
