Right ventricular enlargement on chest computed tomography: a predictor of early death in acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND In patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), rapid and accurate risk assessment is paramount in selecting the appropriate treatment strategy. Right ventricular (RV) enlargement on chest CT has previously been shown to correlate with an unstable hospital course, but its role as a predictor of death is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We evaluated 431 consecutive patients (mean age, 5...
متن کاملRight ventricular enlargement on chest computed tomography: prognostic role in acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND We investigated the prognostic role of right ventricular enlargement on multidetector-row chest CT in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 63 patients with CT-confirmed PE who underwent echocardiography within the ensuing 24 hours. Adverse clinical events, defined as 30-day mortality or the need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, pre...
متن کاملDose Reduction Methods in Chest Computed Tomography
Introduction: Computed tomography is one of the most powerful tools for investigating thorax disease, because it shows progression of lung disease much clearer than chest radiography. Technical advances in CT scanners have led to some abilities for CT scanners such as coverage of larger volume, lower noise and ability for acquiring image in one respiratory phase. However, this will be accompani...
متن کاملChest radiographs fail to detect right ventricular enlargement and right atrial enlargement in patients with a pure restrictive ventilatory impairment.
The validity of measurements of the cardiac silhouette on chest radiographs for the evaluation of right ventricular enlargement and right atrial enlargement in patients with a pure restrictive ventilatory impairment was investigated in 19 patients. The forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted in these patients was 59 +/- 12 percent (mean +/- SD) (range, 29 to 79 percent). Right ventricular...
