| pubmed-article:441650 | pubmed:abstractText | 25 thoracic bed x-ray films from 20 intensive-care patients were classified roentgenologically according to three degrees of severity of left decompensation, and compared with the end-diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure. Very good correlation was seen in 60% of the cases and a satisfactory agreement in 30%, whereas a discrepancy compared with haemodynamic parameters was observed in about 10% of the patients. Possibilities of explaining discrepancies are discussed within the framework of error analysis. | lld:pubmed |
