  • The study investigates the prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients who experience syncope while visiting the emergency department (ED).
  • A total of 1,397 unselected syncope patients were analyzed, revealing PE detected at presentation in only 19 patients (1.4%).
  • Findings suggest that PE is uncommon in this patient population, indicating that routine screening for PE in all syncope cases may not be necessary.
