Brief Summary

Low output syndrome is a common complication in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Its incidence was reported to be 2 to 6%. Morbidity and mortality of low output syndrome is high and the costs for treating the disease are immense.Natriuretic propeptide Type B (NT-proBNP) is a biological marker for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy of cardiac failure after cardiac surgery. Cardiac index and NT-proBNP will be correlated with morbidity and mortality. A critical threshold value for intraoperative cardiac index and NT-proBNP will be calculated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary objective is to monitor NT-proBNP for 7 days in patients with an intraoperative low cardiac output. Cardiac index and NT-proBNP will be correlated with morbidity and mortality.

    90 days

Study Arms (1)

NT-proBNP

150 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery with an intraoperative measured cardiac output \<2L/min/m².
