Background This study assessed predictors of pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) resolution
and their implications for clinical outcome. Method A total of 150 patients with acute PE …

Background It is known that the main role of D-dimer has been as an exclusionary test in
patients with suspected venous thromboembolism. However, the D-dimer is increasingly …

Background Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cause of death for
cardiovascular diseases in Europe. Quick PE diagnosis is therefore crucial for prognosis …

Should a Normal D-dimer Rule out Angiographic Pulmonary Embolism or Unfavorable
Outcome in Patients Left Untreated? Page 1 T53 ietters to the Editor Dear Sir, In a recent …

Background Abnormal D-dimer concentration measured during anticoagulation therapy (AT)
or within one month of discontinuation, is associated with residual pulmonary obstruction …

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to determine whether the magnitude of the d-
dimer correlates with a higher likelihood of pulmonary embolus (PE). METHODS: We …

Objectives Determine whether D-dimer concentration in the absence of imaging can
differentiate patients that require anti-coagulation from patients who do not require anti …

D‑dimer levels correlate with the extent of pulmonary embolism (PE) on computed
tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), but the use of D‑dimer alone for screening and …

We performed a prospective study to assess whether positive quantitative D-dimer (DD)
levels could be integrated for a selected population in a defined strategy to accurately …
