Right ventricular (RV) failure after cardiac surgery is associated with an ominous prognosis.
The etiology of RV failure is multifaceted and the ability to recognize RV failure early is …

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) causes adverse outcomes after
cardiac surgery; however, the effects of DD during off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting …

This study evaluated the early effect of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on left
ventricular systolic function. Intraoperative echocardiography was performed in 32 patients …

Background: This study was designed to examine the effect of myocardial protection on
diastolic function after cardiac operations. Methods: Subjects were patients with normal …

This report describes an unusual cause of low cardiac output after coronary artery bypass
grafting and left ventricular remodeling. It details left ventricular remodeling techniques and …

Right ventricular failure is an infrequent but potentially lethal complication of cardiac surgical
procedures. We have successfully treated a patient with right ventricular failure with the use …

Background: Although moderate to severe diastolic dysfunction (DD) seems to be
associated with poor prognosis after isolated coronary bypass surgery, the impact of mild …

Abstract Background: Glucose‐insulin‐potassium (GIK) infusion improves clinical outcome
after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). The mechanism of benefit is unclear, but GIK …

This study investigated the mechanism of right ventricular failure during bypass of the left
side of the heart by precisely assessing right ventricular function with use of a conductance …
