Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Adult Cardiac Surgery
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a retrospective observational study to assess the relationship between peak systolic global longitudinal strain measured on pre-cardiopulmonary bypass trans-esophageal echo images predicts post-operative low cardiac output syndrome defined as the need for an inotropic support during 24 hours or longer.
