Abstract
The hemodynamic and pathological significance of radiological enlargement of the main pulmonary artery segment and attenuation of the peripheral arterial pattern has been investigated in 79 patients with mitral stenosis. Moderate or severe pulmonary arterial hypertension can be accurately predicted after studying these radiological vascular patterns. Similarly, the severity of the structural damage within the small peripheral branches of the pulmonary artery is reflected in these radiological changes.Keywords
