Why the study?
The study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of postpericardiotomy syndrome and systematically examine various risk factors following surgical correction of heart valve disease.
Postpericardiotomy syndrome occurs in nearly a third of patients after heart valve surgery, with male sex, reduced LVEF, and longer bypass times identified as key risk factors.
No immediate practice change after valve surgery; leaves open risk factor validation in larger prospective cohorts.
