Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Right ventricular function of the heart

Right Ventricular function is evaluated through combined echocardiographic interventricular synchrony variables which include pulmonary artery catheter derived cardiac index, pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, central venous pressure (CVP), CVP versus PA diastolic pressure, and systolic blood pressure.

Time frame: 24 hours after cardiac surgery completion
