Abstract

Measurement of right ventricular (RV) function is essential for complete assessment of the effects of inhaled nitric oxide in the postoperative cardiac patient; nitric oxide therapy can result in a decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance and improved echocardiographic RV ejection fraction without necessarily inducing a significant change in pulmonary artery pressure.
