Article Synopsis
- Heart failure increases the risk of death in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), but the impact of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction in this context isn't well understood.
- A study of 769 acute PE patients found that 10.5% had LV systolic dysfunction, with a higher prevalence in those with pre-existing cardiac conditions.
- It was observed that patients without a history of cardiac disease had better recovery in LV function post-PE compared to those with a history of cardiac issues, though in-hospital mortality rates were similar for both groups.
