[Prognostic value of imaging methods in acute pulmonary embolism].

چکیده
A embolia pulmonar (EP) constitui a terceira causa mais frequente de doença cardiovascular aguda, depois do acidente vascular cerebral e do enfarte agudo do miocárdio. A rapidez no diagnóstico, estratificação de risco e tratamento de doentes com EP aguda permitem reduzir a sua mortalidade. Os desenvolvimentos dos métodos de imagem das últimas décadas trouxeram significativas mudanças nos algoritmos de abordagem desta patologia. Uma das alterações mais significativas foi a mudança do método padrão de referência para o diagnóstico de EP da angiografia pulmonar tradicional para a angiografia pulmonar obtida através da tomografia computadorizada com multidetetores (TCMD), cujo valor como método padrão passou a ser consignado nas mais recentes guidelines da Sociedade Europeia de Cardiologia1. De facto, a TCMD tornou-se rapidamente no exame mais utilizado para confirmar o diagnóstico de EP aguda, podendo adicionalmente identificar sinais de disfunção ventricular direita ou permitir diagnósticos alternativos. Se o seu papel no diagnóstico de EP aguda está bem estabelecido, já o seu valor como método para estabelecer o prognóstico destes doentes é ainda hoje objeto de intensa investigação.

Prognostic Impact of Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Risk Index on Hospitalization Mortality of Patient with Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the deadly cardiovascular diseases. One of the indexes proposed in these patients for risk stratification is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI), which includes three parameters of systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TRI on in-hospit...

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cause of acute cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke. Prompt diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment of patients with PE can reduce the associated mortality. Developments in imaging technology in recent years have led to changes in approaches to PE, one of the most significant being the replacement of conventional pul...

متن کاملEvaluation of the confounding factors disturbing the quality of CT images of pulmonary angiography
Background: Since pulmonary angiography is the only non-invasive method for diagnosing pulmonary embolism, the use of radiation reduction methods without affecting the quality of images seems necessary. One of the simplest reasons for unnecessarily increasing of patient exposure is repetitive imaging due to poor image quality. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and ...

متن کاملPrognostic value of arterial/alveolar oxygen tension ratio (a/APO2) in acute pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND Because the arterial/alveolar oxygen tension ratio (a/APO2) is relatively constant throughout the entire range of fractional inspired oxygen concentration (FiO2), its use in determining the prognosis of acute pulmonary embolism (APE) was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS This study retrospectively assessed 202 consecutive patients with APE confirmed by computed tomography or high p...
