Clinical characteristics of patients with acute pulmonary embolism stratified according to their presenting syndromes
PD Stein, JW Henry - Chest, 1997 - Elsevier
Purpose The purpose of this investigation is to determine the characteristics of the history,
physical examination, chest radiograph, and ECG, and the ventilation/perfusion (V˙/Q˙) lung
scan probability in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) stratified according to their
presenting syndrome. Background In considering a possible diagnosis of acute PE, it is
helpful to consider the patient in terms of the presenting syndrome (pulmonary infarction,
isolated dyspnea, or circulatory collapse). In assessing the possibility of acute PE, it would …

Clinical characteristics of patients with acute pulmonary embolism: data from PIOPED II
PD Stein, A Beemath, F Matta, JG Weg… - The American journal of …, 2007 - Elsevier
BACKGROUND: Selection of patients for diagnostic tests for acute pulmonary embolism
requires recognition of the possibility of pulmonary embolism on the basis of the clinical
characteristics. Patients in the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II
had a broad spectrum of severity, which permits an evaluation of the subtle characteristics of
mild pulmonary embolism and the characteristics of severe pulmonary embolism.
METHODS: Data are from the national collaborative study, Prospective Investigation of …
