Increased pulmonary artery diameter on chest computed tomography can predict borderline pulmonary hypertension

Increased pulmonary artery diameter on chest computed tomography can predict borderline pulmonary hypertension

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) often leads to dilatation of the pulmonary artery (PA), which can be measured on chest computed tomography (CT). While the predictive capability of PA dilatation is useful to distinguish PH (mean PA pressure ≥25 mmHg) from normal (mean PA pressure ≤ 20 mmHg), CT character...
