after open cardiac chamber cardiac surgery
Brief summary
The hypothesis of this study is that temporary biventricular pacing will improve hemodynamic performance in patients with right ventricular dysfunction after open cardiac chamber cardiac surgery.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
