Right Ventricular Response to Hypercapnia After Mitral Valve Repair: A Hemodynamic Assessment

Right ventricular (RV) failure is a serious complication after cardiac surgery. Postoperative hypercapnic acidosis can increase pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) that can lead to RV dysfunction. We aimed to investigate… Click to show full abstract

Right ventricular (RV) failure is a serious complication after cardiac surgery. Postoperative hypercapnic acidosis can increase pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) that can lead to RV dysfunction. We aimed to investigate whether hypoventilation‐induced hypercapnic acidosis leads to increased PAP levels and detectable changes in RV dimensions and function in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.
