Implication
Provides the 2014 European Society of Cardiology standard of care for diagnosing and managing acute pulmonary embolism.
Key Points
- Clinical classification of acute pulmonary embolism severity relies on early mortality risk defined by in-hospital or 30-day outcomes.
- Hemodynamic instability presenting as shock or persistent arterial hypotension defines high-risk cases of acute pulmonary embolism.
- Guideline consensus integrates echocardiography and computed tomographic pulmonary angiography to guide anticoagulation or thrombolysis.
