Key result
High ventricular-arterial coupling after pediatric cardiac surgery linked to ~5.2-point lower end-systolic elastance.
Why the study?
Scant information is available about ventricular-arterial coupling variables in critically ill children after pediatric cardiac surgery.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Ventricular-arterial coupling assessment may refine hemodynamic evaluation after pediatric cardiac surgery; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Marinari et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Biventricular congenital heart disease (n=27). High ventricular-arterial coupling vs. Low ventricular-arterial coupling was evaluated on End-systolic elastance (MD -5.2, 95% CI -6.28 to -0.7, p=0.008). High ventricular-arterial coupling in children after cardiac surgery was associated with lower end-systolic elastance compared to low coupling.
