Right Ventricle Dysfunction Research Progress With APE By Multi-slice Spiral CTPA

Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) represents a relatively common cardiovascular emergency, by occluding the pulmonary arterial bed, that may lead to severe acute but potentially reversible right ventricular (RV) failure.Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) pulmonary angiography has recently gained widespread acceptance as the first-line imaging methods to confirm the clinical suspicion of acute PE, basically replacing ventilation-perfusion cintigraphy and conventional pulmonary angiography.Through introduced MSCTPA scanning technology, cardiovascular parameters and imaging signs to explore MSCTPA diagnostic potential for acute pulmonary embolism with right ventricular dysfunction, and as well as the development prospects of chest imaging.
