Background Many computed tomography (CT) parameters have been proposed as potential
predictors of outcome in acute pulmonary embolism. We sought to summarize available …

The use of point of care echocardiography by non-cardiologist in acute care settings such as
the emergency department (ED) or the intensive care unit (ICU) is very common. Unlike …

Background In patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), risk stratification is indicated
for tailoring of both diagnostic strategies and acute treatment. Whether embolic burden …

Background: Studies aimed at assessing whether the emboli lodged in the central
pulmonary arteries carry a worse prognosis than more peripheral emboli have yielded …

Purpose Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) can quickly deteriorate and the
condition has high mortality due to right ventricular (RV) failure. Immediately available …

Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are the two aspects of venous thrombo-
embolism. Investigation of lower limb veins has been part of various diagnostic algorithms in …

METHODS: A retrospective observational study to include patients presented with clinical
suspicious of PE who underwent CTPA was conducted. Patients' demographics, clinical …

Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is a frequent cause of mortality in Kenya, but its

Background Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) induces ventilation-perfusion mismatch and
hypoxia and increases pulmonary pressure and right ventricular (RV) afterload, entailing …

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to determine the outcome of pulmonary
embolism (PE) and the clinico-radiological predictors of mortality in a university hospital …
