Purpose
The use of dobutamine in postoperative hemodynamic treatment is widespread despite seemingly intact contraction of the heart. This study aims to elucidate the efficacy of low-dose dobutamine infusion in patients in the postoperative phase replacement of the aortic valve.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Cardiac output [ Time Frame: From 0 to 90 minutes after drug initiation ]Change in cardiac output (l/min) from initiation of study drug or placebo until 90 minutes of infusion.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Mean pulmonary artery pressure [ Time Frame: From 0 to 90 minutes after drug initiation. ]Changes in pulmonary artery pressure (mmHg) from start of study drug or placebo infusion until 90 minutes after the start.
- Echocardiography [ Time Frame: From 0 minutes to 90 minutes after drug initiation ]Echocardiographic measures of systolic and diastolic heart function.
- Changes in mixed venous saturation [ Time Frame: From 0 minutes to 90 minutes after drug initiation ]Changes in mixed venous saturation (in per cent) from baseline until the end of dobutrex or placebo infusion.
- norepinephrine requirement [ Time Frame: From 0 minutes to 90 minutes after drug initiation ]The amount of norepinephrinem(mg) required to maintain adequate systemic blood pressure during the infusion period of dobutrex and placebo
- Central venous pressure [ Time Frame: From 0 minutes to 90 minutes after drug initiation ]Changes in CVP from baseline until 90 minutes of study drug or placebo infusion.
