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.
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
Researchers assessed whether treatment of acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism with parenteral anticoagulation followed by a switch to a direct oral anticoagulant was effective and safe.
Mortality Trends in Patients Hospitalized With High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism
Although the mortality of patients with high-risk pulmonary embolism has decreased over time, the decrease cannot be attributed to improved treatments for pulmonary embolism.
Stroke and Systemic Embolism Risk Is Highest with HFpEF Among Heart Failure Types
Study authors assessed the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure according to HF types.
COVID19 Vaccine Is Safe Despite Reports of Deadly Clots
The AstraZeneca vaccine, developed with researchers from Oxford University, has been heavily used in Britain
