Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Mahda Alihashemi M.D. [2]

Overview

The most potent risk factor in the development of diaphragmatic paralysis is cooling or streching in cardiac surgery. Other risk factors include viruses, spinal cord transection and malnutrition.
