Obesity is strongly and independently associated with a higher prevalence of pulmonary embolism.
Respiratory Investigation, 2019BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with many cardiovascular risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the independent association between obesity and pulmonary embolism. METHODS We used the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Codes

It is reasonable to conclude by considering an approach to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism. When the diagnosis is suspect, and in the absence of contraindications, or hemodynamic instability, treatment with heparin may be begun and an arterial blood gas and perfusion lung scan obtained. If the Pao2 and perfusion scan are normal, it is

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common problem for which prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential to minimize mortality. The clinical presentation is more variable than sudden dyspnea and chest pain, especially in the critical care patient. Recognition of venous thromboembolic (VTE) risk factors can help develop a good clinical suspicion for PE. A wide

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and, therefore, pulmonary embolism (PE) are often preventable. Because of the lack of specificity of symptoms and signs, DVT and PE are frequently clinically unsuspected, leading to substantial diagnostic and therapeutic delays and resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality.

Pulmonary physiology during pulmonary embolism
Chest, 1992Acute pulmonary thromboembolism produces a number of pathophysiologic derangements of pulmonary function. Foremost among these alterations is increased pulmonary vascular resistance. For patients without preexistent cardiopulmonary disease, increased pulmonary vascular resistance is directly related to the degree of vascular obstruction demonstrated on
