Concomitant DVT in patients with acute symptomatic PE is an independent predictor of 3-month mortality, highlighting the importance of assessing thrombotic burden for risk stratification.

Abstract

In patients with a first episode of acute symptomatic PE, the presence of concomitant DVT is an independent predictor of death in the ensuing 3 months after diagnosis. Assessment of the thrombotic burden should assist with risk stratification of patients with acute PE.
