  • Title: [Radiologic detection of pulmonary artery hypertension].
    Author: Hübsch P, Jenny C, Schwaighofer B, Seidl G, Burghuber OC.
    Journal: Rontgenblatter; 1987 Dec; 40(12):406-12. PubMed ID: 3445097.
    Abstract:
    In 43 patients with obstructive and restrictive lung disease a catheterisation of the right heart with measurement of pulmonary artery pressure was performed. In a retrospective study several radiological parameters of pulmonary hypertension were evaluated on the chest radiographs of these patients. Considering those parameters on the p.a. and lateral chest radiograph, the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension in patients with elevated pulmonary artery pressure at rest can be made with great accuracy. When pulmonary artery pressure is elevated only during exercise, the accuracy of radiological diagnosis is much lower.
