case_images: For further evaluation of the dyspnea, we performed transthoracic echocardiography, which revealed a D-shaped left ventricle due to right ventricular pressure overload (Fig. 1A). Moderate pulmonary hypertension (right ventricular systolic pressure, 61.63 mmHg) was observed (Fig. 1B).
case_images: Chest computed tomography at admission revealed multiple pulmonary thromboemboli in the right lobar (A, arrow) and both main (B, arrows) pulmonary arteries.
