Pulmonary embolism & pulmonary hypertension
FWS worsening as a marker of bad prognosis in PE (-14,4% ±7,2%)
In pulmonary hypertension a FWS with -15% & a GS with -15,3% as cut-off for worse prognosis
RASr reduction in in acute PE
FWS — basal & mid reduction in PE compared to apical values („Strain“ McConnell Sign)
Pulmonary embolism
Central PE with RV-dilatation, normal FWS, GS & RASr & RASct
Central PE with RV-dilatation, normal FWS, GS & RASr & RASct
RA/RV thrombus & PE with severely reduced FWS & GS; atypical PLAX RV-inflow view with reduced RV anterior strain
(no normal values)
RA/RV thrombus & PE with severely reduced FWS & GS; atypical PLAX RV-inflow view with reduced RV anterior strain
(no normal values)
Pulmonary hypertension
Pulmonary hypertension in ILD with significantly reduced FWS & GS with massive RV-dilatation
