Abstract
The underlying causes of mortality in patients with pulmonary embolism have been investigated in the past, yet management of pulmonary emboli has evolved and newer therapeutic options are available. Data from four hospitals during 2022-2025 were analyzed and all patients with intermediate-high risk and high risk pulmonary emboli who died during follow up were included. The results depicted in the research letter provide insight into the mechanism of morality in patients with pulmonary emboli by risk category and thereby help improve care and patient selection for interventions.
期刊介绍:
The American Heart Journal will consider for publication suitable articles on topics pertaining to the broad discipline of cardiovascular disease. Our goal is to provide the reader primary investigation, scholarly review, and opinion concerning the practice of cardiovascular medicine. We especially encourage submission of 3 types of reports that are not frequently seen in cardiovascular journals: negative clinical studies, reports on study designs, and studies involving the organization of medical care. The Journal does not accept individual case reports or original articles involving bench laboratory or animal research.
