sPESI: simplified Pulmonary Embolism Severity Index; FAST score: based on a positive heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) test, syncope and tachycardia; RV: right ventricular; TTE: transthoracic echocardiography; CT: computed tomography; HR: heart rate; sBP: systolic blood pressure; SaO2: arterial oxygen saturation. #: high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) ≥14 pg·mL−1 for patients <75 years and ≥45 pg·mL−1 for patients ≥75 years; ¶: replaced by hsTnT ≥14 pg·mL−1 for patients <75 years and ≥45 pg·mL−1 for patients ≥75 years.
