Right ventricle left ventricle end diastolic basal diameter ratio 1 the right ventricular outflow tract is considered enlarged when the measured diameter in the parasternal long axis exceeds 3 3 cm or when the measured diameter exceeds 2 7 cm in the distal rvot as measured in the basal parasternal short axis view.
Of these cardiac and venous measurements the rv lv diameter ratio is the easiest to calculate and should be included in every report of a ct pulmonary angiography examination.
