Why the study?
Does anticoagulant therapy improve echocardiographic right ventricular strain in patients with acute pulmonary embolism?
Does anticoagulant therapy improve echocardiographic right ventricular strain in patients with acute pulmonary embolism?
Echocardiography can detect reversible right ventricular strain in acute pulmonary embolism, which normalizes after anticoagulant therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
RV strain may normalize with anticoagulation in acute PE; hypothesis-generating from two cases, requiring prospective validation.
Fang et al. (2008) studied this question.
