Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTIntraoperative Left Ventricular Function Assessment

Left ventricular function will be assessed during the decannulation phase of cardiopulmonary bypass using two diagnostic methods: (1) visual estimation of ventricular contractility by the cardiac surgeon (eyeballing) and (2) objective measurement using intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). No experimental procedure, medication, or additional intervention will be applied. Both assessments are part of standard intraoperative monitoring in cardiac surgery. Data from both methods will be collected simultaneously to compare accuracy, agreement, and diagnostic performance.
