Despite recent advances in the assessment, risk stratification, and treatment of acute
pulmonary embolism (PE), it remains a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and …

Copeptin (COP) was reported to have prognostic value in various cardiovascular diseases.
We hypothesized that COP levels reflect the severity of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and …

Pulmonary embolism is a major cause of mortality. Acute pulmonary embolism also
encompasses a wide clinical spectrum of severity, ranging from asymptomatic silent disease …

Among patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), abnormal cardiac biomarkers and
elevated right ventricular to left ventricular (RV/LV) diameter ratio are associated with …

Purpose The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) velocity time integral (VTI), an
echocardiographic measure of stroke distance, correlates with cardiac index. We sought to …

Prognostic value of red cell distribution width and echocardiographic parameters in patients with
pulmonary embolism Page 1 ORIGINAL RESEARCH 69 www.journals.viamedica.pl Address for …

Introduction Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a cardiothoracic thromboembolic
emergency at risk of life‐threatening. Several risk graduation algorithms may be applied to …

While in labor, a 37-year-old woman developed acute dyspnea, hypoxemia, and
tachycardia. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated severe right ventricular dilation …

Background We determine the predictive value of transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE)
metrics for clinical deterioration within 5 days in adults with intermediate-risk pulmonary …

Introduction Risk stratification for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) incorporates metrics of
right ventricle (RV) function. Significant RV dysfunction influences left ventricular (LV) …
