INTRODUCTION The stratification of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) using the simplified pulmonary embolism severity index (sPESI) and shock index (SI) does not require any prognostic tools such as ...

High-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) may overestimate risk in patients with hemodynamically stable pulmonary embolism (PE), which could translate into unnecessary monitoring, treatment, and ...

At the other end of the severity spectrum, low-risk PE is characterized by preserved RV function on the basis of both imaging studies and laboratory makers, along with a sufficiently low score using ...

A new study suggests that many patients with pulmonary embolism who present as hemodynamically stable may be in subclinical shock due to low cardiac index. Moreover, mechanical thrombectomy may ...

It has been employed in the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index but counts for only 10 points out of 210. "If you look at ILD and PE outcomes, there's nothing really out there [in the literature ...

There is a method to evaluating how severe the combined winter weather has been so far. This Winter Severity Index might not agree with what you think about the winter so far.

Healthcare professionals use the Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) and the simplified PESI (sPESI) to help determine your mortality risk within 30 days of experiencing a pulmonary embolism ...

One of our most important findings is that these PE characteristics were not associated with worse clinical outcomes (out to 30 days) in patients classified as low-risk by PE severity index (PESI ...

We know this winter hasn’t been our typical harsh Michigan winter. Often it is hard for you to quantify just how wimpy this winter has been. The Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index is an ...

Higher frequency and severity of acute exacerbations of COPD increases the risk for myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism.
