Why the study?
Patients with pulmonary embolism remain at risk of long-term complications such as post-PE syndrome, and the effectiveness and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation warrant further investigation due to limited implementation and few studies.
Does pulmonary rehabilitation improve recovery and prognosis in patients with pulmonary embolism?
Does pulmonary rehabilitation improve recovery and prognosis in patients with pulmonary embolism?
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a promising strategy to alleviate post-PE syndrome and improve quality of life in patients with pulmonary embolism, though large-scale prospective studies are needed to establish standardized protocols.
May support pulmonary rehabilitation in post-PE syndrome; leaves open confirmation via randomized trials.
As a common clinical emergency, pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most fatal cardiovascular disease worldwide. Although current sophisticated medical technology has considerably improved the prognosis of patients with PE, they remain at risk of developing long-term complications such as post-PE syndrome. Pulmonary rehabilitation is of great value for patients with chronic lung diseases since it can improve their quality of life while also relieving clinical symptoms. Rehabilitation therapy has been demonstrated to improve recovery and prognosis of patients with PE. Due to short implementation time and the small number of studies, its effectiveness and safety in PE warrant further investigation. The present review focused on elucidating PE pathogenesis, post-PE syndrome and the clinical application of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with PE.
