Observational study identifies elevated VES-13 scores linked to persistent dyspnea in acute pulmonary embolism survivors, suggesting better monitoring may improve outcomes.
The VES-13 score could be particularly valuable in predicting dyspnea 3-months after APE. Elderly survivors of APE with higher baseline VES-13 scores should be closely monitored after discharge. This proactive approach can help identify patients at a greater risk of developing persistent dyspnea, enabling timely intervention and potentially improving outcomes.
