Managing Pulmonary Embolism in Primary Care Feasible for Some Patients
About 21 percent of adults diagnosed with acute PE in primary care sent home; few experienced adverse events within 30 days
Pulmonary Embolism
AI Model May Aid Screening for Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Deep learning of ECG waveforms and clinical variables used to create fusion algorithm that may predict likelihood of pulmonary embolism
Does Hypocalcemia Affect Mortality in Patients With Pulmonary Embolism?
Could calcium levels serve as a possible prognostic marker for in-hospital mortality among patients with pulmonary embolism?
Does Multiorgan FCU Reduce Hospital Stay in Patients With Cardiopulmonary Symptoms?
Researchers assessed whether integrating multiorgan focused clinical ultrasonography with the clinical evaluation of patients with a cardiopulmonary diagnosis would decrease hospital stay and costs.
Cardiovascular Disease Risk Increased in Young, Black US Adults
Researchers at AHA 2021 presented their findings from a study that compared CVD risk factors and in-hospital outcomes in young, Black US adults a decade apart.
D-Dimer Level Not Useful for Ruling Out PE in COVID-19
Overall, 92.3 percent of patients had plasma D-dimer levels ≥0.05 µg/mL, including all with and 91.2 percent without, pulmonary embolism.
Physicians Less Likely to Test for PE in Setting of Dementia
Findings seen in patients with dementia presenting with clinical factors known to be predictive of pulmonary embolism risk.
Association Between Heart Rate and Mortality in Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Researchers examined the link between baseline heart rate and pulmonary embolism outcomes across the continuum of heart rate values.
Thromboembolic Disorders: Treatments
Anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and thrombolytics for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of venous and arterial thrombosis.
Heparin to Dabigatran Switch Safe, Effective in Patients With Intermediate-Risk Pulmonary Embolism
