| Factor | right PV area was correlated with right PBF |
| Description | Evaluation of unilateral PBF was as follows: right PV area was correlated with right PBF (p = 0.0002), while right pulmonary artery area was not. |
| 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 | 0.0002 |
| Conclusion | Evaluation of unilateral PBF was as follows: right PV area was correlated with right PBF (p = 0.0002), while right PA area was not. |
