Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially lethal condition. Most patients who succumb to pulmonary embolism do so within the first few hours of the event. Despite diagnostic advances, delays in pulmonary embolism diagnosis are common and represent an important issue.  As a cause of sudden death, massive pulmonary embolism is second only to sudden cardiac death.

In patients who survive a pulmonary embolism, recurrent embolism and death can be prevented with prompt diagnosis and therapy. Unfortunately, the diagnosis is often missed because of patients with pulmonary embolism present with nonspecific signs and symptoms. If left untreated, approximately one-third of patients who survive an initial pulmonary embolism die from a subsequent embolic episode.

When a pulmonary embolism is identified, it is characterized as acute or chronic. In terms of pathologic diagnosis, an embolus is acute if it is situated centrally within the vascular lumen or if it occludes a vessel. Acute pulmonary embolism commonly causes distention of the involved vessel. An embolus is chronic if it is eccentric and contiguous with the vessel wall (see the second image below), it reduces the arterial diameter by more than 50%, and evidence of recanalization within the thrombus is present, and an arterial web is present.

  26. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  27. Did you write the article yourself or you hired someone to do it?
    I was wondering because I am a site owner too and struggle with writing new content all the time.

    Someone told me to use AI to do create articles which I am kinda
    considering because the output is almost written by human.
    Here is the sample content they sent me – https://sites.google.com/view/best-ai-content-writing-tools/home

    Let me know if you think I should go ahead and use AI.

  28. I am sure this article has touched all the internet visitors, its
