Effect of a Higher Blood-pressure on Right Ventricular Function

Summary

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in cardiac surgery is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality. Raising the systemic blood pressure with norepinephrine seems to have a positive influence on the right ventricular function in several animal studies. The current study is designed to evaluate the effect of a higher blood pressure on the RV function in post cardiac surgery patients.
