Abstract

Optimal selection and cut-off values of echocardiography parameters and cardiac biomarker measurements to predict clinical deterioration events within days of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are lacking. The goals of the study were to determine echocardiographic indices of right ventricle (RV) size, systolic function and pressure and cardiac biomarker levels and their association with clinical outcomes that focus on hospital-based monitoring or interventions within 5 days. Our secondary objective was to develop a prediction model for clinical deterioration, investigate its performance, and assess its potential for clinical utility.
