Implication

CXR parameters may aid noninvasive PAWP estimation in cardiomyopathy; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

Can chest radiograph findings accurately estimate pulmonary artery wedge pressure in patients with chronic congestive and ischaemic cardiomyopathy?

P
Population
82 patients with chronic congestive cardiomyopathy and ischaemic cardiomyopathy undergoing 92 haemodynamic studies.
I
Intervention
Chest radiograph evaluation (assessing venous distribution, interstitial oedema, pleural effusions, left atrial enlargement, right ventricular enlargement, cardiothoracic ratio, and alveolar oedema)
C
Comparator
Invasive haemodynamic measurement of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP)
O
Outcome
Correlation between chest radiograph findings and pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP)surrogate

Specific chest radiograph findings, particularly cardiothoracic ratio, can independently predict and estimate pulmonary artery wedge pressure in patients with chronic cardiomyopathy.
