Objective To investigate the prognostic validity of the right ventricular to left ventricular
diameter (RVD/LVD) ratio and Qanadli pulmonary artery obstruction score (PAOS) in …

Acute pulmonary embolism remains a common cause of mortality. Early diagnosis and
appropriate risk stratification is necessary to individualize treatment strategy. Computed …

Background: Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) yields indices, such as
the right ventricular/left ventricular (RV/LV) ratio> 1.0, which are commonly used for risk …

The right ventricle (RV), due to its morphologic and physiologic differences, is susceptible to
sudden increase in RV afterload, as noted in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) …

We assess the prognostic role of a new index (Age-T index), based on age and the tricuspid
annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) for the estimation of 30-day mortality and risk of 48 …

(1) Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) represents the third most important
cardiovascular cause of death after myocardial infarction and stroke. The proper …

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the most suspected cases in the emergency department
with high mortality. The suspicion/diagnosis ratio is low in emergency departments but …

Purpose The presence of right ventricular dysfunction indicates a higher risk status in
patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). The RV strain evaluated by speckle‐tracking …

Abstract Three-dimensional echocardiographic (3DE) of right ventricle (RV) has been
validated in many clinical settings. However, the necessity of complicated and off–line …

Background: Pulmonary embolism severity index and simplified pulmonary embolism
severity index have been utilized in initial risk evaluation in patients with acute pulmonary …
