Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of patent foramen ovale (PFO) on mortality and clinical deterioration risk in patients with intermediate-high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), using data from the Italian Pulmonary Embolism Registry (IPER).
- Out of 450 PE patients analyzed, 15.1% were found to have PFO, which was linked to significantly higher death rates (29.4% vs. 3.1%) and clinical deterioration within 48 hours (38.2% vs. 3.6%).
- The presence of PFO was identified as a strong predictor for both 30-day mortality and increased risk of deterioration, with statistics showing a hazard ratio of
The ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to echocardiographically measured systolic pulmonary artery pressure (PASP) has been proposed as a surrogate of RV-arterial coupling. In this analysis, we assess the prognostic role of TAPSE/PASP for early clinical deterioration and short-term mortality in an often clinically challenging population of intermediate-high-risk patients with pulmonary embolism (PE). A post hoc analysis of intermediate-high-risk patients with PE enrolled in the Italian Pulmonary Embolism Registry (ClinicalTrials.

A post-hoc analysis of intermediate-high risk PE patients enrolled in the Italian Pulmonary Embolism Registry (IPER) (Trial registry: ClinicalTrials.gov; No.

Aims: Dyspnoea is a well known symptom of acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We assess the prognostic role of different patterns of dyspnoea onset regarding in-hospital mortality, clinical deterioration and the composite of the outcomes in PE patients, according to their haemodynamic status at admission.
Methods: Patients from the prospective Italian Pulmonary Embolism Registry (IPER) were included in the study.

Aims: We assess the prognostic role of mean arterial pressure (MAP) for 48 h clinical deterioration in intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism (PE) patients after admission.
Methods And Results: A post hoc analysis of intermediate-high-risk PE and intermediate-low-risk PE patients enrolled in the Italian Pulmonary Embolism Registry (IPER) (Trial registry: ClinicalTrials.gov; No.
