Özet

Aim: Among cardiovascular diseases, pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious emergency with high mortality. Right ventricular dysfunction due to an excessive increase in pulmonary artery pressure is considered a major cause of death in vigorous PE. We aimed to assess the predictive value of computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA)-based morphometric measurements of right heart function in the diagnosis of PE.
