BackgroundRisk stratification models for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) lack positive predictive value to identify patients at highest risk of early PE-related mortality. Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) and tissue doppler (S') from echocardiogram are validated metrics RV function. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) derived Hounsfield Unit (HU) gradient has been shown be a surrogate cardiac index in PE. Our study examined HU aid stratifying the PE population.MethodsWe...
Abstract Introduction While the global dissemination of vaccines targeting severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in a decline incidence infections, case fatality rates have remained relative stable. A major objective managing hospitalized patients with documented or suspected COVID-19 infection is rapid identification features associated illness using readily available laboratory tests and clinical tools. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA)...
Introduction: The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple and well-validated to assess functional status predict morbidity mortality in several chronic cardiopulmonary disease states. Neutrophil Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) reflects pro inflammatory state. Increased platelet lymphocyte (PLR) has been associated with increase thrombus burden. Elevated D-dimer fibrinogen (D/f) fibrinolysis activation. No study investigated the correlation of these indices gender differences 6MWT patients presenting...

Anticoagulation (AC) adherence after acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is vital to prevent mortality and future recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We aimed analyze factors affecting AC PE. Consecutive adult patients with CT angiography or V/Q scan confirmed PE were included in a single-center retrospective study from April 2016 May 2020. Adherence data, including refill dates, collected pharmacies, measures Continuous Measure Medication Acquisition (CMA), Proportion Days Covered (PDC),...
Abstract Introduction Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in a pandemic which infected more than 128 million people and led to over 2.8 deaths worldwide. Although the introduction of efficacious vaccines overall declines incidence SARS-CoV-2 infection, there been recent increase infections once due appearance mutant strains with higher virulence. It therefore remains vital identify predictors poor outcomes this patient population. Purpose The objective...
