Objectives : The goal of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of echocardiographic
indices of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) for prediction of pulmonary embolism–related …

… assessment were blindly reevaluated by two specially instructed sixth year medical students
(M. Kurzyna and M. Ciurzynski) who were unaware at the time of the purpose of the study …

Background There is no comprehensive analysis of transthoracic echocardiographic findings
of pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of right …

Currently, venous thromboembolism, including deep vein thrombosis and acute pulmonary
embolism (PE), is globally the third most frequent acute cardiovascular syndrome with rising …

Background/Objectives Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an emerging therapeutic
method in CTEPH. We aimed to prove the safety and efficacy of refined BPA driven by …

Current knowledge of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) epidemiology is based mainly
on data from Western populations, and therefore we aimed to characterize a large group of …

… CTEPH should be suspected in individuals after APE with dyspnea, despite at least 3 m
onths of effective anticoagulation, particularly when specific risk factors are present. …

… Material and methods The authors observed 142 consecutive patients (52 M/90 F, 64±18
years) with APE diagnosed with contrast enhanced multislice CT. On admission, blood …

Objective: Current risk stratification in acute pulmonary embolism (APE) includes assessment
of clinical status, right ventricular overload and plasma troponin concentrations. As …

… We tested prognostic value of pre-specified eGFR level ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 calculated
on admission according to the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease study equation. The …
