QR in V1 - an ECG sign associated with right ventricular strain and adverse clinical outcome in pulmonary embolism [PDF]
Aims To test the hypothesis that Qr in V1is a predictor of pulmonary embolism, right ventricular strain, and adverse clinical outcome. Methods and Results ECG's from 151 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism were blindly interpreted by two observers.

Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study [PDF]
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and particularly emphysema are characterized by stiffness of the aorta, due in part to accelerated elastin degradation in the lungs and aorta. Stiffness of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) may also be
