Pulmonary artery reflection for differentially diagnosing primary pulmonary hypertension and chronic pulmonary thromboembolism.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this investigation was to differentiate chronic pulmonary thromboembolism (CPTE) from primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) by means of the indexes of pulmonary arterial reflection. BACKGROUND These differences in the primary lesions would make pulmonary artery reflection occur earlier in CPTE than in PPH. Although the analysis of pulsatility of pulmonary arterial pre...

متن کاملYoung Male’s Post Appendectomy Complication of Pulmonary Thromboembolism
The main goal of this report was to share with clinicians an atypical presentation of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in a young male`s post-appendectomy, whom he had no significant predisposing factors for such disease. The case also introduced for re-examining the challenges of PTE clinical manifestations which may mimic other differential diagnosis. PTE is an abrupt blockage of the pulmonary...
متن کاملEpidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary thromboembolism: review article
High incidence and mortality rate of pulmonary thromboembolism urge physicians to be aware of its occurrence and treatment. Pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) typically manifests itself with acute dyspnea and tachycardia and may occur along with deep vein thrombosis. However, syncope, chest pain and heart failure decompensation in previously stable patients might be another presenting signs and sym...
متن کاملHomocysteine and D-dimer levels and multilayer computed tomography for diagnosing pulmonary artery thromboembolism
Aim: D-dimer reportedly plays a leading role in diagnosing pulmonary embolism. Additionally, homocysteine is an established risk factor for atherosclerosis, vascular disease, and thrombosis. Herein, the authors aimed to evaluate the diagnostic significance of D-dimer and homocysteine levels, together with multi-detector computed tomography (CT) in suspected pulmonary embolism. Methods: The auth...
