Postcardiotomy syndrome - what does this mean

Postcardiotomy syndrome is a condition that can occur after a person has had open heart surgery. it is characterized by the onset of acute respiratory distress, fever, hypotension, and a decrease in oxygenation. it is thought to be caused by the disruption of the normal healing process in the heart tissue, leading to inflammation and a decrease in the ability of the heart to pump blood.

What happens during the disease - postcardiotomy syndrome

Postcardiotomy syndrome is a condition caused by an inflammatory response in the body after a cardiac surgery. it is characterized by an impaired cardiac function, edema, fatigue, and dyspnea. it is thought to be caused by an excessive inflammatory response to the surgery, which leads to an increase in inflammatory cytokines, which can damage the heart muscle, leading to decreased cardiac output and ultimately the symptoms of postcardiotomy syndrome.
