About Cardiac decompensation post cardiac surgery.

Cardiac decompensation post cardiac surgery refers to an acute or subacute deterioration of cardiovascular function occurring following surgical intervention on the heart, such as coronary artery bypass grafting, valve repair or replacement, or congenital defect correction.

In this postoperative state, the cardiovascular system cannot sustain adequate cardiac output to meet systemic metabolic demands or can do so only at the expense of elevated ventricular filling pressures.

Pathophysiologically driven by myocardial stunning, ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiopulmonary bypass-induced systemic inflammation, dysrhythmias, or acute changes in ventricular loading, it manifests clinically as low cardiac output syndrome, pulmonary and systemic venous congestion, end-organ hypoperfusion, and hemodynamic instability.
