An optimal cardiothoracic ratio cut-off to predict clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction
The traditional cut-off for the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) by chest X-ray was not originally proposed as a prognostic variable. We investigated an optimal CTR cut-off that could predict clinical outcomes in pa...
