Introduction This is a state-of-the-art article of the diagnostic process, etiologies and
management of acute right ventricular (RV) failure in critically ill patients. It is based on a …

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a potentially life threatening condition requiring adequate
diagnosis and treatment. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) is …

Purpose To assess the correlation between volumetric measurements of clot,
semiquantitative clot burden indexes, and signs of right heart dysfunction at computed …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the prognostic role of various
computed tomography (CT) signs of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, including 3 …

Background Little data exist regarding the functional capacity of patients following acute
pulmonary embolism. We sought to characterize the natural history of symptom burden, right …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to retrospectively compare right ventricular-to-left
ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratios measured on the standard axial view versus the …

CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) has become the de facto clinical “gold standard” for the
diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and has replaced catheter pulmonary …

Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography has become the standard of care for the
evaluation of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). In addition to the direct …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to determine the interobserver reproducibility of
CT findings of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in pulmonary embolism (PE). MATERIALS …

Background Right ventricular (RV) function is predictive of outcome in patients with acute
pulmonary embolism (PE). We assessed the possible incremental value of ventricular …
