Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess whether thermodilution-derived parameters of right and left ventricular cardiac function (right ventricular ejection fraction, global ejection fraction, cardiac function index) are able to track changes of cardiac contractile function and whether they are influenced by substantial preload reduction.
