Value of Coronary Sinus During Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography for Predicting Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Abstract:Objective:
Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) parameters are valuable for predicting pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). However, few studies have used the coronary sinus ostium area (CSOA), derived from CTPA, to detect PH. This study aimed to compare the prognostic values of the CSOA, coronary sinus ostium diameter (CSOD), and right ventricular (RV)/left ventricular (LV) ratio for PH.
Methods:
This study retrospectively analyzed 78 patients (mean age, (51.94 ±… Show more
