Aim We aimed to determine the predictors of early death in the course of acute pulmonary
embolism (APE). Materials and methods We included 206 patients who had been admitted …

Results: Thirty-day APE-related mortality was 10.5%(8 patients). The area under the curve
(AUC) for TAPSE in the prediction of APE-related mortality was higher (p< 0.00001)(0.905 …

Background: The most commonly used parameter of right ventricular (RV) systolic function—
tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)—is unavailable for some patient s …

Abstract Purpose of Review Acute pulmonary embolism is a major cause of morbidity and
mortality in the USA and throughout the world. This review will summarize recent …

Background The categorization of pulmonary embolism (PE) as non-massive, sub-massive,
and massive helps guide acute management. The presence of right ventricular (RV) strain …
