About this trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the differences between females and males undergoing cardiac surgery. The investigators will look at perioperative factors such as adaption of body weight, previous medical history, pharmacokinetics, transfusion, coagulation, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) related factors, cardiac function, inotropic requirements, risk, and outcome scores as well as morbidity and mortality at sort-term (within 30 days) and long-term (90 days and 1 year).
