Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Frisius Medisch Centrum15 enrolled

Overview

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.

Measurements with echocardiography were done during cardiac surgery to observe the right ventricular dysfunction in the perioperative process
