Abstract BACKGROUND: Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a leading driver of morbidity and mortality after major cardiac surgery for advanced heart failure, including orthotopic heart transplantation and left ventricular assist..

Perfusfind S.L.

Abstract Background Myocardial injury-related cardiogenic shock (MICS) is significantly associated with poor outcomes in patients after cardiac surgery. Herein, we aimed to investigate the risk factor for postoperative MICS. Methods..
