A follow up study by the same group found that an el.
A manifestation of flattening of the interventricular septum assessed by dividing the short axis diameter of the lv parallel and then perpendicular to the septum and dividing these values to yield an eccentricity index.
Patients with interstitial lung disease ild may develop pulmonary hypertension ph often disproportionate to the severity of the ild.

It occurs in a number of clinical scenarios including.
Rvd lvd ratio 1 on standard axial views is not considered to be a good predictor of right ventricular dysfunction 8.
We evaluated 260 patients with acute pe for the following ct signs of rv dysfunction obtained on routine chest ct.

Ber rv lv diameter ratio may be more accu rate than the axial rv lv diameter ratio for the prediction of death after pe 14 triggered by a study 15 that compared four chamber and axial rv lv diameter ratios as predictors of outcome in 63 patients with pe.
Lvd left ventricular diameter ratio 1 on reconstructed four chamber views.
Right ventricle left ventricle end diastolic basal diameter ratio 1 the right ventricular outflow tract is considered enlarged when the measured diameter in the parasternal long axis exceeds 3 3 cm or when the measured diameter exceeds 2 7 cm in the distal rvot as measured in the basal parasternal short axis view.

Measurements will likely be on different axial images to obtain the true maximum measurement for each ventricle.
Lv and rv intracavitary diameter should be measured perpendicular to the long axis at the maximum measureable diameter.
