DISCUSSION

INTRODUCTION ● Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and PE is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death after myocardial infarction (MI) and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA). ● Many PEs are likely undiagnosed and calculating the true incidence remains challenging. ● However, PE remains a significant cause of preventable in-hospital mortality. ● According JACC, the annual incidence rate of VTE ranges between 75 and 269 cases per 100,000 persons, as shown by studies in Western Europe, North America, Australia, and southern Latin America.

In the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis II (PIOPED II) trial patients with PE had a range of signs and symptoms. ● Common signs were tachypnea (54%) and tachycardia (24%). The most common symptoms were dyspnea, usually of onset within seconds, at rest or with exertion (73%), pleuritic pain (44%), calf or thigh pain (44%), calf or thigh swelling (41%), and cough (34%). ● With only 24% of patients presenting with tachycardia, the majority of patients lacked one of the most common findings. ● Therefore, a high index of suspicion and assessment of risk factors are critical for the recognition of pulmonary embolic events.
