• ST Elevation

  ST-segment abnormalities: 1 mm ST elevations in DI, DII and aVL. ( Fig. 1 ) The chest radiography showed: normal heart size (cardio-thoracic ratio = 0.48), focal oligemia at the level of the upper left lung lobe, upper and middle right lung lobe, enlarged [tmj.ro]

• Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block

  New-onset right-bundle branch block or atrial fibrillation is uncommon. [tmj.ro]

Prognosis of Pulmonary Heart Disease – Cor Pulmonale The prognosis of pulmonary heart disease depends on the underlying causes. [myvmc.com]

Prognosis Prognosis depends strongly on the underlying cause of the acute right heart syndrome. In pulmonary embolism, prognosis is quite good if the patient can be stabilized hemodynamically, but very poor (> 50% mortality) if not. [clinicaladvisor.com]

OBJECTIVE: We performed a longitudinal transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) study to determine whether this incidence, and its severe implications for prognosis, might have changed in our unit as we altered respiratory strategy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment and prognosis Cor pulmonale generally carries a poor prognosis. Long-term oxygen therapy is often considered the main treatment option. [radiopaedia.org]
