Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common illness that can cause death and disability. It is difficult to detect because patients present with a wide array of symptoms and signs. The clinical setting can raise suspicion, and certain inherited and acquired risk factors predispose susceptible individuals.

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2004
Pulmonary embolism is a commonly suspected but underdiagnosed condition of clinical significance. Preventable deaths continue to occur. We begin this article with an overview of prognosis, clinical evidence, signs and symptoms, and risk factors, followed by an in-depth evaluation of diagnostic techniques and treatment modalities.

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1976
Pulmonary embolism is a common and often fatal postoperative complication. Dyspnea is the most common clinical manifestation in pulmonary embolism, and other signs are frequently inconsistent and often vague. The chest film and electrocardiogram may be helpful in excluding other cardiorespiratory diseases but they are frequently unreliable in ...

Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1981
Acute pulmonary embolism is one of the most serious of the life-threatening illnesses, but it can be prevented or effectively treated. Unfortunately, there are no safe, rapid, or inexpensive tests for its detection, and so a high degree of alertness remains the clinician's best ally in the diagnosis of this disorder.

Chest Surgery Clinics of North America, 2002
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

Pulmonary embolism remains a challenging problem in diagnosis and management for the emergency physician. Although its clinical presentation is protean and often ambiguous, risk stratification can be accomplished based on the predictive power of a limited number of physical and historical characteristics.

Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
La Presse Médicale, 2015The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is nowadays based on the sequential use of several diagnostic tests rather than on a single test. These diagnostic strategies are safe and have been prospectively validated. The first step after identifying patients with suspicion of PE is to establish the pre-test clinical probability.
