The right ventricular to left ventricular diameter rv lv ratio measured at ct pulmonary angiogram ctpa has been shown to provide valuable information in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and to predict death or deterioration in acute pulmonary embolism. In the study by araoz et al 42 an rv lv diameter ratio greater than 1 was associated with a 3.
