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 death were 40% and 7.2% respectively. On regression analysis, RAV/LAV ratio was the only predictor of the primary endpoint, with an optimal cut-off of 3.8 (accuracy 75%). |
