Relationship Between Strain and Stroke Volume in Cardiac Surgery

April 24, 2024 updated by: Tufts Medical Center

Relationship Between Right Ventricular Free Wall Longitudinal Strain and Stroke Volume Index by Thermodilution in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting up tp 30% will develop postoperative right ventricle dysfunction. Its imperative for the physician to fully understand the severity of this complication in order to perform an early diagnosis and carry out the appropriate treatment.

Aim:

Investigate the correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes at different time points in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Hypothesis:

  1. Weak correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes during coronary artery bypass graft surgery
  2. Echocardiographic measurements would change across different time points during surgery independent of hemodynamic values.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by right heart strain (%)
Time Frame: during CABG surgery
Assessing the change of RV function during CABG surgery using right heart strain as a percentage of change between RV shortening and RV end diastolic length.
during CABG surgery
Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by stroke volume index (mL/m2)
Time Frame: during CABG surgery
Assessing the change of RV function during CABG surgery using stroke volume index. Stroke volume index measurement as millilitres per square meter (ml/m2)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in cardiac output measured with Swan-Ganz during CABG
Time Frame: during CABG surgery
Cardiac output (L/min) measured with the thermodilution technique
during CABG surgery
