Overuse and underuse of pulmonary CT angiography in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the utilization and diagnostic yields of CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) using the Revised Geneva score and Wells’ criteria, in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE). Methods: One hundred and twelve adult patients underwent CTPA for suspected PE were participated in this study. The outcome was positive or neg...
متن کاملTroponin I and risk stratification of patients with acute nonmassive pulmonary embolism.
The assessment of risk and appropriate treatment of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a challenge. The prognostic performance of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in predicting 30-day all-cause mortality was prospectively assessed in consecutive haemodynamically stable patients with PE. The present study included 318 haemodynamically stable patients with PE. During the 30-day study pe...
متن کاملRisk Stratification of Patients with Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is an under-diagnosed but potentially fatal condition. This condition presents with a wide clinical spectrum, from asymptomatic small PE to lifethreatening one causing cardiogenic shock. Depending on the estimated risk of an adverse outcome, treatment with thrombolysis or embolectomy may be indicated in high-risk individuals. Conversely, early hospital discharge or...
متن کاملRisk-stratification in normotensive acute pulmonary embolism
In the Netherlands, 10,000 to 12,500 patients per year are diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) [1]. The large majority of these patients are normotensive. Just recently, the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published an update of their guideline on the diagnosis and management of acute PE [2]. Compared with the previous version of 2008, special emphasis was given to risk stratifica...

sampling and separation of serum from blood cells. We agree with M. John and K. Jung that we must be aware of pre-analytical problems when analysing the circulating matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 levels. However, we used only serum samples in our study because we usually use serum samples for clinical examinations in our hospital. Therefore, ...
