Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To establish the correlation between echocardiographic parameters of the RV, measured with TEE and the right ventricular ejection fraction (thermodilution). To identify a time in the perioperative process when RV dysfunction occurs.

Detailed Description
Measurements with echocardiography were done during cardiac surgery to observe the right ventricular dysfunction in the perioperative process
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
cardiac surgery patients cardiac surgery patients with a significant peroperative aortic valve stenosis (gradient>40mmHg and/or aortic valve area <1cm2). During cardiac surgery measurements of right ventricular dysfunction were taken by echocardiography |
Other: echocardiographic measurements
echocardiographic parameters of the RV, measured with TEE and the right ventricular ejection fraction (thermodilution)

Primary Outcome Measures
- The correlation between echocardiographic parameters of the RV, measured with TEE and the RVEF measured with the pulmonary artery catheter [during cardiac surgery]
The correlation between echocardiographic parameters of the RV, measured with TEE and the RVEF measured with the pulmonary artery catheter.
