2025年3月12日 · Patterns of lung involvement include interstitial, airway and pleural disease. Pleural involvement is a common manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis, although usually asymptomatic. Other manifestations include: Chest radiograph may show: Chest CT or HRCT features include:

2011年1月1日 · Several pleuropulmonary manifestations are associated with rheumatoid arthritis involving the lung parenchyma, pleura, airways, and vasculature. The various pulmonary radiological findings have been defined in patients with RA. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate of the pulmonary radiologic findings in the five patients with RA.

2025年1月31日 · With transthoracic echocardiography, the apical 4-chamber view is preferred to assess right atrial (RA) dimensions by tracing the chamber margins at end-systole and recording orthogonal measurements of the major and minor axes. These dimensions may …

Introduction: Chest radiography (CXR) is commonly performed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), particularly for the diagnosis of pulmonary disease. However, other structures are visible on CXR, abnormalities of which may contribute to morbidity and early mortality. This study was undertaken to evaluate the extent of CXR abnormalities in RA patients.

2024年9月23日 · The chest radiograph (also known as the chest x-ray or CXR) is anecdotally thought to be the most frequently-performed radiological investigation globally although no published data is known to corroborate this.

2021年1月7日 · Pericarditis is the most common cardiac manifestation of RA, affecting 20%–50% of patients. RA pericarditis is typically clinically silent, with fewer than 10% of patients developing symptoms . Symptomatic pericarditis is associated with increased mortality .

CXR demonstrates diffuse, bilateral, usually basal interstitial or alveolar infiltrates. Lymphadenopathy and pleural effusions may suggest the diagnosis; HRCT shows an NSIP pattern [ Figure 14 ]. Methotrexate can also give rise to diffuse alveolar damage [ Figure 15 ] and various other pleuropulmonary disorders.

Chest X ray (CXR) is insensitive for lung parenchymal changes. RA patients requiring b-DMARDs have a CXR. We set out to describe CXR and CT abnormalities in this group with uncontrolled RA at the point of assessment for first b-DMARD.

Patients with RA were randomly selected for inclusion in a cross-sectional study involving clinical evaluation of pulmonary function, including pulse oximetry (determination of SpO 2, at rest), chest X-ray, and spirometry.

A chest radiograph, chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures. Chest radiographs are the most common film taken in medicine.
