NCT01375335

Brief Summary

The use of dobutamine in postoperative hemodynamic treatment is widespread despite seemingly intact contraction of the heart. This study aims to elucidate the efficacy of low-dose dobutamine infusion in patients in the postoperative phase replacement of the aortic valve.
