Factor Information
Data ID	3837
Factor	PV areas were correlated with body surface area
Description	Evaluation of bilateral PBF was as follows: in normal patients, pulmonary artery and PV areas were correlated with body surface area (r = 0.88, p = 0.0001 and r = 0.93, p = 0.0001); PA index and PV index ranged from 248 to 436 (mean = 343) mm2/m2 and from 346 to 595 (mean = 466) mm2/m2, respectively, and were constant irrespective of body surface area; PA and PV areas were correlated with PBF in normal patients, as well as in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
Biomarker	NA
Classification	F6 (psychosocial factor - other)

Association
Application	risk assessment
Objective	This study was done to clarify which diameter, that of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) or that of the pulmonary veins (PVs), more precisely reflects pulmonary blood flow (PBF) bilaterally and unilaterally.
p Value	0.0001
Conclusion	Evaluation of bilateral PBF was as follows: in normal patients, PA and PV areas were correlated with body surface area (r = 0.88, p = 0.0001 and r = 0.93, p = 0.0001); PA index and PV index ranged from 248 to 436 (mean = 343) mm2/m2 and from 346 to 595 (mean = 466) mm2/m2, respectively, and were constant irrespective of body surface area; PA and PV areas were correlated with PBF in normal patients, as well as in patients with tetralogy of Fallot.
