Right Ventricular Dysfunction in Cardiac Surgery Patients

Completed
Conditions
Right Ventricular Dysfunction
Interventions
Other: echocardiographic measurements
Registration Number
NCT03183414
Lead Sponsor
Medical Centre Leeuwarden
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
