RV dysfunction can be due to a myriad of causes - myocardial ischemia, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, congenital heart disease, or cardiomyopathy. The presence of RV failure can lead to difficulty in separation from cardiopulmonary bypass in cardiac surgical patients, and has been shown to be an independent predictor of mortality in high-risk cardiac surgery patients. Additionally, correct identification of RV dysfunction is crucial in order for the correct treatment to be administered. RV failure can lead to underfilling of the left ventricle, and mimic hypovolaemia with hypotension and an exaggerated stroke volume variation. In such a case, failure to diagnose RV dysfunction can wrongly lead to fluid loading and further worsening of right ventricular failure.\n\nWhile evaluation of right heart function is well described in TTE studies, there is insufficient data at present to recommend a reliable method to quantify RV function using TTE.\n\nIn addition to traditional measurements of RV function, we hope to study the usefulness of speckle tracking and strain imaging in assessment of RV function, modalities of echocardiographic image analysis which have garnered increasing interest in recent years.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '21 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age \\> 21 years\n* Undergoing elective cardiac surgery\n* Planned for intraoperative TOE\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patient refusal\n* Emergency surgery\n* Haemodynamic instability\n* Previous tricuspid valve surgery\n* Severe tricuspid regurgitation\n* Rhythm other than sinus\n* Previous oesophageal / gastric surgery\n* Oesophageal stricture / tumour\n* Oesophageal diverticulum / fistula\n* Active upper GI haemorrhage\n* Oesophageal varices'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03954002', 'briefTitle': 'Quantification of Right Ventricular Function Using Simultaneous Transthoracic and Transoesophageal Echocardiography', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'National University Hospital, Singapore'}, 'officialTitle': 'Quantification of Right Ventricular Function Using Simultaneous Transthoracic and Transoesophageal Echocardiography', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2018/00987'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'TTE and TOE', 'description': 'A small flexible tube (TOE probe) will be inserted into your oesophagus, or food pipe, to take images of your heart as per routine anaesthetic care for cardiac surgery.\n\nJust before and after general anaesthesia is administered, a short transthoracic echocardiography (TTE scan will be performed to acquire images of your heart.
