Abstract
Measurement of right ventricular (RV) function is essential for comple te assessment of the effects of inhaled nitric oxide in the postoperat ive cardiac patient; nitric oxide therapy can result in a decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance and improved echocardiographic RV ejecti on fraction without necessarily inducing a significant change in pulmo nary artery pressure.
