Risk stratification in pulmonary embolism based on biomarkers and echocardiography.
Since the initial observation that elevated cardiac troponin T levels are closely associated with mortality in acute pulmonary embolism,1 several reports have confirmed the prognostic role of cardiac troponins in this setting.2,3 More recently, yet another group of biomarkers, the natriuretic peptides B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), em...
متن کاملRisk stratification of pulmonary embolism: clinical evaluation, biomarkers or both?
The concept of risk-stratification is one of the cornerstones of the recent guidelines on pulmonary embolism (PE), which were issued by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and endorsed by the European Respiratory Society [1]. According to these guidelines, patients with PE are divided in three groups with increasing risk of death or adverse outcome following a three-step process that is ba...
متن کاملRisk-stratification in normotensive acute pulmonary embolism
In the Netherlands, 10,000 to 12,500 patients per year are diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) [1]. The large majority of these patients are normotensive. Just recently, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published an update of their guideline on the diagnosis and management of acute PE [2]. Compared with the previous version of 2008, special emphasis was given to risk stratifica...
متن کامل[The potential of new and old biomarkers for risk stratification in pulmonary embolism].
O tromboembolismo pulmonar (TEP) é uma emergência cardiovascular comum, com apresentação clínica inespecífica e de difícil diagnóstico. A estratificação da gravidade do TEP deve ser analisada precocemente e estimada de forma individualizada, baseada no risco de morte hospitalar e a curto prazo (30 dias) com recurso a marcadores de risco. A estratificação rápida e com acuidade no TEP tem-se foca...
متن کاملImportance of cardiac biomarkers in risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism.
At present there is consent that patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) and hemodynamic instability have poor prognosis and benefit from thrombolytic therapy or embolectomy, whereas hemodynamically stable patients without echocardiographic signs of right ventricular overload/dysfunction (RVO) have good prognosis and should be treated with anticoagulation alone. The optimal treatment for s...
