Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number and degree of hypotensive episodes predicted by preoperative values of pulse wave velocity.

The investigators will examine if high values of pulse wave velocity correlate with the frequency and severity of hypotensive episodes under anaesthesia.

Time frame: One year

Correlation between systemic vascular resistance and aortic augmentation index

Time frame: One year

Identity of cardiac output given by the PiCCO monitor and cardiac output given by the Arteriograph

Time frame: One year
