670 Right Ventricular Dysfunction Following Cardiac Surgery Assessed by Transthoracic Echocardiography

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is common following cardiac surgery. Recent guidelines emphasize the importance of RV function assessment using recent echocardiographic parameters, which have not been studied in the postoperative setting. Our objective was to evaluate RV function using these parameters, and to evaluate their feasibility immediately postoperatively. Thirty-two patients had a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) before and the...
