Functional and Prognostic Implications of the Main Pulmonary Artery Diameter to Aorta Diameter Ratio from Chest Computed Tomography in Korean COPD Patients
BACKGROUND The ratio of the diameter of the main pulmonary artery (mPA) to the diameter of the aorta (Ao) on chest computed tomography is associated with diverse clinical conditions. Herein, we determined the functional and prognostic implications of the mPA/Ao ratio in Korean chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. METHODS The study population comprised 226 chronic obstructive...
متن کاملCo-existence of COPD and bronchiectasis: a risk factor for a high ratio of main pulmonary artery to aorta diameter (PA:A) from computed tomography in COPD patients
Background Pulmonary vascular disease, especially pulmonary hypertension, is an important complication of COPD. Bronchiectasis is considered not only a comorbidity of COPD, but also a risk factor for vascular diseases. The main pulmonary artery to aorta diameter ratio (PA:A ratio) has been found to be a reliable indicator of pulmonary vascular disease. It is hypothesized that the co-existence o...
متن کاملComparison of Aortic Annulus Diameter Measurement between Multi-Detector Computed Tomography and Echocardiography: A Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accurate measurement of aortic annulus diameter is crucial for choosing suitable prosthetic size for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Several imaging methods are available for the measurement, but significant variability between different modalities has been observed. The purpose of this study was to systematically compare the measurements of aortic annulus...
متن کاملsignificance of pulmonary nodules in multi-detector computed tomography scan of noncancerous patients
background: computed tomography (ct) scan is one the most useful devices in chest imaging. ct scan can be used in mediastinal abnormality, lungs, and pleural evaluations. according to the high prevalence and different causes of pulmonary nodules, we designed this study to evaluate the prevalence and the types of pulmonary nodules in noncancerous patients who underwent chest multi-detector ct (m...
متن کاملComputed tomography measurement of pulmonary artery for diagnosis of COPD and its comorbidity pulmonary hypertension
Computed tomography (CT) is widely used for evaluation of lung diseases. To evaluate the value of CT measurement of pulmonary artery for diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and its comorbidity pulmonary hypertension (PH), we retrospectively reviewed the CT of 221 patients with COPD and 115 control patients without cardiovascular or lung disease. Patients with COPD were div...
