来自美国波士顿Brigham and Women’s Hospital的Gregory Piazza博士专访:
1. CTPA is wildly used in diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism. Do you think it is necessary to assess the right ventricle by MSCT?
2. Would you like to tell us the clinical characteristics of elderly patients with deep-vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism?
3. What is your standard of heart failure diagnosis? Did you include the patients who have diastolic heart failure? And how can we prevent VTE for these patients?
