The prognostic value of pulmonary embolism severity index in acute pulmonary embolism

Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases Supplements, 2018
Background Prognostic assessment is important for the management of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index (PESI) score has been previously validated in studies, but its widespread use in clinical practice and validity are uncertain.

Are biomarkers additive to pulmonary embolism severity index for severity assessment in normotensive patients with acute pulmonary embolism? [PDF]

QJM, 2010
Biomarkers and clinical prediction rules have been proposed for severity assessment in acute pulmonary embolism (PE).The aim of this study was to compare biomarkers with the PE Severity Index (PESI), a validated scoring system for predicting 30-day mortality and to determine if addition of biomarkers to PESI would improve its predictive accuracy.We ...

Factors associated with cardiovascular events after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant from the US Multicenter Simultaneous Liver–Kidney Transplant Consortium

Hepatology Communications, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Pulmonary vasodilation in acute pulmonary embolism - a systematic review [PDF]

, 2020
Acute pulmonary embolism is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death. Pulmonary embolism increases right ventricular afterload, which causes right ventricular failure, circulatory collapse and death.
