Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a significant global cause of mortality, ranking third after myocardial infarction and stroke.

This study aims to assess the value of electrocardiography in predicting inpatient mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism, as diagnosed with computed tomography pulmonary angiogram.
