ECG changes following balloon pulmonary angioplasty in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: a retrospective study
BPA enhances cardiac function and hemodynamics in CTEPH patients, with certain ECG measures such as Lewis criteria and Butler-Leggett score reflecting the severity of hemodynamic impairment. The reversal of QRS axis deviation and the disappearance of the qR pattern in lead V<sub>1</sub> may serve as valuable indicators for assessing post-BPA satisfaction in CTEPH patients.
