Abstract

Objective: There is no clear consensus regarding the definition of low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) or the follow-up of this patient group. Given this lack of a clinical definition, the aim of this study was to use a LCOS score (LCOSs) similar to the low cardiac output score previously presented in the literature and evaluate the relationship between a high LCOSs and poor clinical outcome.
