Association between 2D echocardiographic right atrial volume to left atrial volume (RAV/LAV) ratio and in-hospital prognosis in thrombolysed acute pulmonary thromboembolism patients

Abstract: Right atrial volume/Left atrial volume (RAV/LAV) ratio is a good hemodynamic parameter in acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), whose prognostic ability by 2D echocardiography is not studied to date. We conducted a 27 month, prospective observational study on 55 eligible acute PTE thrombolysed (29: Tenecteplase; 26: Streptokinase) patients. The primary endpoint was a composite of in-hospital death and poor right ventricular reverse remodelling at the time of discharge. The incidence of primary end-point and d… Show more

“…The medical management [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] of acute PTE consists of anticoagulation and systemic thrombolysis. The rapid reversibility of IV UFH is important for these patients who may require thrombolysis or surgical embolectomy.…”
