Additive Value of Right Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain to a Conventional Echocardiographic Parameter to Improve Prognostic Value in Intermediate‐Risk Pulmonary Embolism
The combined evaluation of RVGLS and RV/LV ratio is a practical method of evaluating RV dysfunction. Using both parameters in patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism identifies those at highest and lowest risk of short-term mortality. This approach offers promise for improved risk stratification and guidance of treatment pathways.
