Background: A large body of evidence suggest an impact of thyroid function on outcomes of cardiovascular diseases, but results for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) are sparse.

Methods: We analysed the impact of hypothyroidism as well as hyperthyroidism on the short and long-term outcomes of patients with acute PE. The impact was compared to the group of euthyroid PE patients as reference group.

Aims: Right atrial (RA) dilation and stretch provide prognostic information in patients with cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the prevalence, confounding factors and prognostic relevance of RA dilation in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE).

Methods: Overall, 609 PE patients were consecutively included in a prospective single-centre registry between September 2008 and August 2017.

Background: Real-world data on the impact of advances in risk-adjusted management on the outcome of patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) are limited.

Methods: To investigate temporal trends in treatment, in-hospital adverse outcomes and 1-year mortality, we analysed data from 605 patients [median age, 70 years (IQR 56-77) years, 53% female] consecutively enrolled in a single-centre registry between 09/2008 and 08/2016.

Results: Over the 8-year period, more patients were classified to lower risk classes according to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 2014 guideline algorithm while the number of high-risk patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) increased.

Background: Assessment of bleeding risk in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE) is challenging. Recently, the VTE-BLEED score was shown to predict major bleeding. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the VTE-BLEED score and assess the prognostic impact of major bleeding in a real-world cohort of PE patients.
