Temporary change of the TAPSE parameter during the study period: measurement 0 – before surgery, measurement 1, 2, 3 – after surgery. The red point in the square corresponds to the median, the upper and lower edge of the quadrangle – quartile spacing, the arms of the graph – values 1–99% of TAPSE measurements, and free points – outliers
