Conditions

Longitudinal Heart Strain, Right Ventricular Dysfunction, Stroke Volume Index

Keywords

Echocardiography, Coronary artery bypass graft, Thermodilution

Brief summary

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting up tp 30% will develop postoperative right ventricle dysfunction. Its imperative for the physician to fully understand the severity of this complication in order to perform an early diagnosis and carry out the appropriate treatment. Aim: Investigate the correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes at different time points in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery Hypothesis: 1. Weak correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes during coronary artery bypass graft surgery 2. Echocardiographic measurements would change across different time points during surgery independent of hemodynamic values.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by right heart strain (%)during CABG surgeryAssessing the change of RV function during CABG surgery using right heart strain as a percentage of change between RV shortening and RV end diastolic length.
Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by stroke volume index (mL/m2)during CABG surgeryAssessing the change of RV function during CABG surgery using stroke volume index. Stroke volume index measurement as millilitres per square meter (ml/m2)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in cardiac output measured with Swan-Ganz during CABGduring CABG surgeryCardiac output (L/min) measured with the thermodilution technique
