Role of thrombolysis in haemodynamically stable patients with pulmonary embolism.
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiopulmonary illness with an age and sex adjusted incidence of approximately 117 cases per 100 000 person years. Incidence rises sharply after the age of 60 years in both men and women. While mortality rates exceed 15% in the 3 months following diagnosis, they are reduced to 2–10% if PE is diagnosed and treated promptly. 3 The majority of patients with PE ...
متن کاملRight ventricular dysfunction for prognosis in haemodynamically stable patients with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism.
treatment, the role of the renin–angiotensin system in the etiology of anaemia may be of importance. In a recent meta-analysis in which .150 000 patients were investigated, we showed that anaemia in CHF is clearly associated with an increased mortality.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) has been shown to be associated with syncope in 13-30 percent of cases. This article presents a novel case report of PE whom syncope was his only manifestation.
متن کاملPrognostic value of right ventricular dysfunction in patients with haemodynamically stable pulmonary embolism: a systematic review.
AIMS To determine the prognostic value of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction assessed by echocardiography or spiral computed tomography (CT), or by increased levels of cardiac biomarkers [troponin, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and pro-BNP] in patients with haemodynamically stable pulmonary embolism (PE). METHODS AND RESULTS We included all studies published between January 1985 and October...
