Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Right ventricular function of the heart24 hours after cardiac surgery completion

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.
