A right ventricle left ventricle rv lv ratio 1 0 was not associated with fewer favorable outcomes in patients with symptomatic acute pulmonary embolism pe who were otherwise considered low risk according to study results published in the american journal of respiratory and critical care medicine. 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. An increased right to left ventricle rv lv diameter ratio measured via computed tomography pulmonary angiography ctpa may help identify high risk patients with suspected interstitial lung disease ild pulmonary hypertension ph and predict death or disease deterioration in patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
