Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Incidence of Pericardial Effusion:The accumulation of any fluid (e.g., blood or effusion) in the pericardial space following surgery. Timepoint: 15 and 30 days after surgery. Method of measurement: Evaluation by ecrdiography at predetermined postoperative time points.;The occurrence of any episodes of atrial fibrillation during the postoperative period. Timepoint: within 7 days or longer after surgery. Method of measurement: Continuous ECG monitoring or periodic recordings using Holter monitoring and/or standard ECGs at predetermined intervals.
