Correlation between severity of pulmonary embolism and obstructive sleep apnea using computed tomography pulmonary artery obstruction index and right ventricular to left ventricular diameter ratio as severity indices

Correlation between severity of pulmonary embolism and obstructive sleep apnea using computed tomography pulmonary artery obstruction index and right ventricular to left ventricular diameter ratio as severity indices

Abstract Background Recent studies have shown a bidirectional association between pulmonary embolism (PE) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and due to their morbidity and mortality, this contributes significantly to the global health-care burden, so this study aims to assess the relationship betwee...
