Values in parentheses are the mean pulmonary artery pressure.
ALT = alanine aminotransferase; AST = aspartate aminotransferase; CI = cardiac index; CO = cardiac output; CPO = cardiac power output; Cr = creatinine; MCS = mechanical circulatory support; PA = pulmonary artery pressure; PAPi = pulmonary artery pulsatility index; PCWP = pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; RA = right atrium; RV = right ventricle.
