- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Right ventricular function of the heart 24 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.
