Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a frequent and important complication of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). It is associated with worse clinical courses with more frequent …

Chest CT is often used for localizing and quantitating pathologies associated with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While simple measurements of areas and volumes …

Rationale and Objectives Cardiac indices can predict disease severity and survival in a
multitude of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Herein, we hypothesized that CT …

COPD is diagnosed and evaluated by pulmonary function testing (PFT). Chest computed
tomography (CT) primarily serves a descriptive role for diagnosis and severity evaluation …

Objective This study seeks to evaluate the diagnostic value of computed tomography (CT) in
pulmonary hypertension. Method PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science …

Correct phenotyping is key to appropriate management of PH associated with COPD. The
lack of evidence regarding the use of pulmonary vasodilators in PH-COPD may be due to …

Background It is necessary to analyze the CT pulmonary vascular parameters and disease
severity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients to provide evidence …

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) typically causes airflow
blockage and breathing difficulties, which may result in the abnormal morphology and …

Purpose To test the inter-reader agreement in classifying pulmonary hypertension (PH) on
chest contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) between a consensus of two cardio …

Introduction In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chest computed tomography
(CT) provides clinically important cardiovascular findings, which include diameter of …
