Resumen

El factor de crecimiento placentario (PlGF) en la sangre es un fuerte predictor de resultados adversos en pacientes con síndromes coronarios agudos (ACS). La medición de los niveles de PlGF, junto con la troponina T y el ligando CD40 soluble, puede ayudar a identificar a los pacientes con un riesgo cardíaco muy bajo.

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...
