Panelists discuss how pulmonary arterial hypertension diagnosis requires comprehensive evaluation including right heart catheterization to confirm hemodynamic criteria, with normal mean PA ...

Immunosuppression appears to reduce mortality among people with systemic sclerosis with pulmonary arterial hypertension but did not prevent the complication from occurring.

A higher diameter ratio on CT scans between the right ventricle and left ventricle, which are the heart’s lower chambers, independently predicts major adverse cardiovascular events in people with ...

Our method was also validated with contrast-enhanced CT scans of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension to demonstrate that our model generalizes well to contrast-enhanced ...

We evaluated the prevalence and prognostic value of CT-pulmonary angiographic (CTPA) measures in 292 treatment naive patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Pulmonary artery calcification ...

Introduction Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a devastating, progressive disease with increasingly debilitating symptoms and usually shortened overall life expectancy due to a narrowing of the pulmonary ...

Quick Takes Evaluation for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with cancer must include either lung ventilation/perfusion scan or dual-energy computed tomography of the chest to evaluate for acute ...

Pulmonary angiography, specifically the computed tomographic version, is the gold standard for diagnosing lung embolism. Learn how to get pictures here.

Purpose: Studies on imaging findings in mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) are limited. This study assessed the relationship between CT-derived parameters (pulmonary artery diameter [PAD] and lung ...
