Background There is no comprehensive analysis of transthoracic echocardiographic
findings of pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of …

Background—The role of echocardiographic right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in predicting
clinical outcome in clinically stable patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) is undefined. In …

Background/objectives Patients presenting with acute pulmonary embolism associated with
hemodynamic compromise exhibit right ventricular enlargement and dysfunction on …

Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is frequently performed in patients with suspected
acute pulmonary embolism (APE) to search for right ventricular (RV) pressure overload. We …

The eVects of an embolus depend on the extent to which it obstructs the pulmonary
circulation, the duration over which that obstruction accumulates, and the pre-existing state …

The diagnosis and treatment of acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PE) remains a complex
clinical challenge. Many studies have used both transthoracic and transesophageal …

BACKGROUND: The main objectives of this study were to determine the incidence of
echocardiography-detected right ventricle dysfunction (RVD) or pulmonary hypertension …

Background There is limited information on the utility of certain echocardiographic
measurements, such as right ventricular (RV) strain analysis, in predicting mortality in …

To evaluate the ability to identify right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, and to predict adverse
outcomes of chest computed tomography (CT), we compared CT and echocardiography in …

Echocardiographic studies were performed in 105 patients with acute and recurrent
pulmonary emboli. Pulmonary embolism was confirmed by pulmonary angiography (n= 48) …
