Left atrium measurements via computed tomography pulmonary angiogram as a predictor of diastolic dysfunction
Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography Oct 03, 2017
Lick AN, et al. - The purpose of this study is to determine whether computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) can detect diastolic dysfunction (DD). The outcome of this study suggests that computed tomography pulmonary angiography measurements of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary artery (PA)/aorta ratio correlate strongly with equivalent findings on echo. They propose that LA and PA/aorta measurements be included on chest CTPA reports.
