Background Recently, a large group of patients with persistent dyspnea, poor physical
capacity, and reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following pulmonary embolism …

Background: Most pulmonary embolism (PE) research has focused on acute and short-term
outcomes such as mortality and PE recurrence. Whether long-term morbidity such as …

Introduction Pulmonary embolism is a common cause of cardiopulmonary mortality and
morbidity worldwide. Survivors of acute pulmonary embolism may experience dyspnea …

Long-term right ventricular (RV) function, functional capacity, exercise capacity, and quality

This position paper provides a comprehensive guide for optimal follow-up of patients with
acute pulmonary embolism (PE), covering multiple relevant aspects of patient counselling. It …

Introduction Recent studies suggest that up to 50% of patients surviving pulmonary
embolism (PE) may suffer from post-PE syndrome, which is defined by persistent dyspnea …

Background Persistent dyspnea, functional limitations, and reduced quality of life (QoL) are
common following pulmonary embolism (PE). Rehabilitation is a potential treatment option …

BACKGROUND: The exact prevalence and etiology of exertional dyspnea in the clinical
course of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) have not yet been established. METHODS: A …

Background Little data exist regarding the functional capacity of patients following acute
pulmonary embolism. We sought to characterize the natural history of symptom burden, right …
