Detection of right ventricular dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism by computed tomography or echocardiography: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction predicts worse outcomes in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Because computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography visualizes cardiac structures, it is a potential method for assessing RV function without the delays associated with inpatient echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CT scan findings for detecting RV …
