Summary

Elderly patients are the fastest growing surgical population and have an increased risk of postoperative cardiac problems. Diastolic dysfunction, or the reduced ability of the heart' s ventricles to fill completely, is common in the elderly population and increases the risk of major adverse cardiac events after surgery. This study will measure diastolic filling and implement fluid and drug management during surgery to determine whether this reduces serious cardiac events related to diastolic dysfunction after surgery in this high-risk population.

Conditions
