[Diagnostic problems of pulmonary embolism].

G Schulz, G Schleusing

    Zeitschrift Fur Die Gesamte Innere Medizin Und Ihre Grenzgebiete
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Diagnosing pulmonary embolism requires combining patient history, clinical signs, and lab tests, as no single symptom is definitive. Angiography is crucial for confirming pulmonary embolism and its source, guiding necessary treatment.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Radiology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Pulmonary embolism (PE) diagnosis lacks a single definitive sign.
    • Diagnosis relies on integrating anamnestic, clinical, and paraclinical data.
    • Establishing the origin of embolism is critical for management.

    Observation:

    • Clinical presentation of PE can be non-specific.
    • Identifying the embolic source clinically is frequently challenging.
    • Angiographic methods offer the highest certainty for PE and origin confirmation.

    Findings:

    • The valency of diagnostic parameters for PE requires careful evaluation.
    • Clinical evidence of embolism origin aids diagnosis but is often insufficient.
    • Angiography is the gold standard for confirming PE and its source.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of PE is vital due to life-threatening risks of recurrence.
    • Definitive diagnosis necessitates comprehensive assessment of multiple parameters.
    • Securing a diagnosis guides appropriate and extensive therapeutic interventions.
