Left and right ventricular echocardiographic patterns in cardiogenic pulmonary edema: An exploratory retrospective study

Table 2 Comparison of echocardiographic parameters between survivors and non-survivors with cardiogenic pulmonary edema

Parameter	Survivors, median (IQR)	Non-survivors, median (IQR)	P value
E/E’	11.37 (10.15-14.33)	15.41 (12.70-18.17)	0.291
TAPSE	20.00 (17.75-26.25)	19.00 (17.75-19.75)	0.323
S RV	12.00 (10.00-13.20)	10.00 (8.25-11.75)	0.339
S LV	6.90 (5.97-7.62)	6.75 (6.12-7.12)	0.669
S LV/S RV	0.60 (0.50-0.71)	0.73 (0.59-0.83)	0.533
LVEF	37.50 (26.75-47.25)	38.00 (20.75-55.00)	0.844
LVOT VTI	16.00 (13.38-18.25)	17.00 (14.72-19.50)	0.645

Continuous variables are presented as median and interquartile range. Comparisons between groups were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test due to non-normal data distribution. A two-sided P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. E/E’ is ratio of early mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity. LVEF: Left ventricular ejection fraction; S LV: Systolic velocity of the lateral mitral annulus; S RV: Systolic velocity of the lateral tricuspid annulus; TAPSE: Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion; LVOT VTI: Left ventricular outflow tract velocity-time integral; IQR: Interquartile range.
