Cardiovascular Outcomes in Black vs White Pregnant and Postpartum Women
Cardiovascular outcomes were found to be worse among Black vs White pregnant and postpartum women.
Pulmonary Embolism
Thromboembolic Disorders: Treatments
Anticoagulants, antiplatelets, and thrombolytics for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of venous and arterial thrombosis.
Surgical Embolectomy, ECMO Associated With Right Ventricular Recovery in Massive PE and High-Risk Submassive MPE
The surgical management of patients with massive pulmonary embolism and high-risk submassive PE was found to be safe and highly effective for achieving right ventricular recovery.
High Incidence of Thromboembolic Events in Patients Who Died of COVID-19
Limited tablet cardiac ultrasound was found to represent an effective alternative to standard platform imaging for the screening of COVID-19-related cardiac conditions.
Statins Found to Reduce Risk for VTE Recurrence
Treatment with statins was found to reduce the risk for disease recurrence in patients with venous thromboembolism.
FOCUS May Be Useful for Ruling Out Pulmonary Embolism in Patients Presenting to the ED With Abnormal Vital Signs
In patients with abnormal vital signs presenting to the emergency department who are suspected of having a pulmonary embolism, a negative focused cardiac ultrasound examination may be associated with reduced odds of a pulmonary embolism diagnosis.
How Long Is the Risk for Pulmonary Embolism Elevated After Surgery?
Current guidelines recommend 5 weeks of postoperative prophylactic anticoagulation, but a new study suggests the duration of this treatment ought to be extended.
Postoperative Pulmonary Embolism Risk Elevated for More Than 6 Weeks
The postoperative risk for pulmonary embolism extends more than six weeks for six types of surgery.
ESC Guidelines Updated for the Diagnosis, Treatment of PE
In guidelines developed by the European Society of Cardiology, in collaboration with the European Respiratory Society, updated recommendations are presented for the management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism.
Thrombolysis During CPR Increases Survival in PE-Related Cardiac Arrest
Patients who received thrombolysis during cardiopulmonary resuscitation for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest with confirmed pulmonary embolism had significantly higher 30-day survival rates vs patients who did not receive thrombolysis.
