Factor Information
Data ID 3918
Factor ratio of B/A(peak concentration of dilution curve/amount of dye injected)
Description The ratio of B/A in patients was lower than that in controls.
Biomarker NA
Classification A6 (clinical factor - other)
Association
Application diagnosis
Objective To access if dye dilution curve might provide information of significant clinical value in patients with suspected or demonstrated ab-normalities of the central circulatory pathway.
Conclusion The ratio of B/A(peak concentration of dilution curve/amount of dye injected) in patients was lower than that in normal subjects. The dye injection method is of value in the differential diagnosis of acyanotic congenital heart diseases since it provides a simple and fairly reliable means of determining the presence or absence of a central circulatory shunt, of the magnitude usually associated with acyanotic congenital cardiac defects.
