In this study we aimed to identify clinical surgical and echocardiographic factors that are associated with LV dysfunction during weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass CPB in high-risk patients undergoing valve replacement for aortic stenosis. Methods Perioperative data were prospectively collected in 108 surgical candidates with an expected operative mortality 9 . All anesthetic and surgical techniques were standardized. Reduced LV systolic function was defined by an ejection fraction 40 . Diastolic function of the LV was assessed using standard Doppler-derived parameters tissue Doppler Imaging TDI and transmitral flow propagation velocity Vp . Results Doppler-derived pulmonary flow indices and TDI could not be obtained in 14 patients. In the remaining 94 patients poor systolic LV was documented in 14 n 12 and diastolic dysfunction in 84 of patients n 89 all of whom had Vp 50 cm s. During weaning from CPB 38 patients 40 required inotropic and or mechanical circulatory support. By multivariate regression analysis we identified three independent predictors of LV systolic dysfunction age Odds ratio OR 95 confidence interval CI to aortic clamping time OR 95 CI to and Vp OR 95 CI to . Among echocardiographic measurements Vp was found to be superior in terms of prognostic value and reliability. The best cut-off value for Vp to predict LV dysfunction was 40 cm s
