The perioperative implications of khat use

The cardiovascular effects of khat include coronary vasospasm, myocardial ischaemia, negative inotropy, increased myocardial oxygen demand, arrhythmias, tachycardia, vasoconstriction and hypertension [3-6]. Chronic use may also lead to the development of tolerance, fatigue and cross-tolerance to oth...

Zusammenfassung:The cardiovascular effects of khat include coronary vasospasm, myocardial ischaemia, negative inotropy, increased myocardial oxygen demand, arrhythmias, tachycardia, vasoconstriction and hypertension [3-6]. Chronic use may also lead to the development of tolerance, fatigue and cross-tolerance to other sympathomimetics [7], and this may account for the perioperative sleepiness observed in Case 3 under spinal anaesthesia.
