ECG may correlate with RV pressures in emphysema; leaves open validation against modern diagnostics before any clinical role.
How do cardiographic findings relate to right ventricular pressures in patients with severe pulmonary emphysema?
The study explores the relationship between cardiographic findings and right ventricular pressures to aid in the early diagnosis of emphysema heart disease (cor pulmonale).
Mounsey et al. (1952) studied this question. Cardiographic findings were related to right ventricular pressures measured by cardiac catheterization to aid in the early diagnosis of heart disease in severe pulmonary emphysema.
