Pulmonary embolism (PE) poses significant clinical challenges due to subtle symptoms and numerous risk factors. Early diagnosis and treatment of PE can reduce mortality by approximately 25%.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pulmonology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a critical health issue with nonspecific clinical signs.
  • Numerous medical conditions increase the risk of developing PE.
  • Prompt diagnosis and treatment of PE are vital for reducing mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current literature on pulmonary embolism.
  • To provide an up-to-date overview of PE diagnosis and management.
  • To serve as a clinical guide for healthcare professionals approaching PE.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of significant research on PE.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge on risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment.
  • Analysis of established and emerging diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Main Results:

  • Extensive research has focused on identifying PE risk factors and developing clinical probability algorithms.
  • Advancements include new diagnostic methods and a better understanding of existing ones.
  • New pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic approaches are being explored.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of PE requires a structured approach from suspicion to recurrence prevention.
  • A thorough understanding of the state-of-the-art in PE is crucial for optimal patient care.
  • This review aims to guide clinicians in the comprehensive management of pulmonary embolism.
