METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE PROGNOSIS OF A PATIENT SUFFERING FROM PULMONARY EMBOLISM

摘要

A system for determining the prognosis of a patient suffering from pulmonary embolism is provided. The system may include at least one computer system configure to receive patient specific data regarding his pulmonary embolism status. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a model of the patient's heart, with at least information of the two ventricles, and to determine the ratio of sizes of the ventricles. The system will then report such ratio to the clinician or report a risk index of clinical outcome for such patient.
