Özet

Introduction: Acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a common cause of cardiovascular mortality. Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is the most important cause of mortality. Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) can detect right ventricular enlargement which is an indicator of RV dysfunction at the time of diagnosis. This study aimed to determine the parameters indicating RV dysfunction in CTPA and correlation of early mortality findings.
