ALTERED RIGHT VENTRICULAR CONTRACTILE PATTERN AFTER CARDIAC SURGERY: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY

There were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), RV fractional area change (RV FAC) and RV size compared to postoperative values (LVEF 53.2 ± 0.9 vs 53.4 ± 10.9 % (p = 0.93), RV FAC 40 ± 6 vs 36 ± 7 % (p = 0.06), and RV size 3.7 ± 0.7 vs 4.0 ± 0.7 cm; p = 0.08).

Zusammenfassung:There were no significant differences in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), RV fractional area change (RV FAC) and RV size compared to postoperative values (LVEF 53.2 ± 0.9 vs 53.4 ± 10.9 % (p = 0.93), RV FAC 40 ± 6 vs 36 ± 7 % (p = 0.06), and RV size 3.7 ± 0.7 vs 4.0 ± 0.7 cm; p = 0.08). Conclusion After cardiac surgery, RV contractile pattern changed with diminished longitudinal shortening despite preserved RV FAC. [...]RV FAC or 3D echocardiogram is a preferable method for assessing RV function after cardiac surgery.
