cardiac surgery patients

Description:

cardiac surgery patients with a significant peroperative aortic valve stenosis (gradient\>40mmHg and/or aortic valve area \<1cm2). During cardiac surgery measurements of right ventricular dysfunction were taken by echocardiography

Treatment:

Other: echocardiographic measurements
