Introduction Bleeding is a major complication of anticoagulation in acute pulmonary
embolism (APE) while estimating individual bleeding risk remains challenging. Elevated D-dimer …

Objectives : The goal of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of echocardiographic
indices of right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) for prediction of pulmonary embolism–related …

Background There is no comprehensive analysis of transthoracic echocardiographic findings
of pulmonary embolism (PE). The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of right …

OBJECTIVES Transapical off-pump NeoChord repair is a novel minimally invasive surgical
procedure to treat degenerative mitral valve regurgitation. The aim was to evaluate 1-year …

Background The current diagnostic delay of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension
(CTEPH) after pulmonary embolism (PE) is unacceptably long, causing loss of quality-…

Background/Objectives Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an emerging therapeutic
method in CTEPH. We aimed to prove the safety and efficacy of refined BPA driven by …

Background Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is an established risk factor for ischemic stroke.
Since acute right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) observed in patients with PE can lead to right-to-…

To externally validate the prognostic impact of copeptin, either alone or integrated in risk
stratification models, in pulmonary embolism (PE), we performed a post hoc analysis of 843 …

Introduction The concept of post Pulmonary Embolism syndrome includes various combinations
of functional, haemodynamic or imaging abnormalities in patients after pulmonary …

Background Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been observed in cigarette smokers
with coronary artery disease. The aim of the study was to assess LV and right ventricular (…
