Understanding Haemodynamic Consequences of Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Haemodynamic consequences of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) include increased mean pulmonary artery pressure, rise in right ventricular preload and end-diastolic pressure, risk of right ventricular failure, and decreased pulmonary blood flow leading to low systolic blood pressure. Arterial hypoxia ca
