Precision in Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis: Leveraging D-dimer Levels With Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) Insights.

Introduction Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a critical condition requiring timely diagnosis and treatment. The use of D-dimer, a fibrin degradation product, as a biomarker, combined with computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA), is a common practice in diagnosing PE. Aim This study aims to increase diagnostic accuracy for PE by relating the D-dimer levels to the findings on CTPA.
