3). 3). 5 ng/mL (10% mortality) [40]. 4 [41–43]. ❦ Page 35 35 Cardiac troponin levels in combination with right ventricular dysfunction or right ventricular dilatation All-cause mortality in case series that included fewer than 50 patients with RV enlargement and increased levels of cardiac troponin I or T, some of whom were unstable, ranged from 19 to 38% [36, 38, 44]. In-hospital all-cause mortality and mortality attributable to PE in stable patients with echocardiographic evaluation of RV size and levels of cardiac troponin I were assessed retrospectively in 1273 patients [15].
This facilitates estimates of the RV/LV dimension ratio. 2). 1% [5, 12, 18]. No statistically different mortality was shown in those treated with thrombolytic agents [12, 18] although Goldhaber et al. showed a favorable trend with thrombolytic agents [18]. 2 Patient with pulmonary embolism and right ventricular/left ventricular dimension ratio <1 shown on transverse image of contrast-enhanced multidetector CT angiogram. Minor axis of right ventricle is shown by dotted line at top and minor axis of left ventricle is shown at bottom.
Reproduced from Stein et al. M. 5 in 11 (14%). None of the patients had an in-hospital life-threatening adverse event that required ventilatory support, vasopressor therapy, rescue thrombolytic therapy, or catheter embolectomy [16]. 5%) [16]. 9, there were no deaths from PE [16]. The RV/LV dimension ratio can be determined from axial views on CT angiograms, which are readily and immediately available, without obtaining four-chamber reconstructed views [17]. This facilitates estimates of the RV/LV dimension ratio.
