Prevalence and Predictors of Pulmonary Embolism in Hospitalized Patients with Syncope.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of PE in this study is approximately one-third of the reported prevalence in the PE in Syncope Italian Trial study and almost three times the value reported in administrative data-based studies. PE should be suspected in patients with syncope and elevated troponin levels or a dilated right ventricle on echocardiogram. PMID: 31375838 [PubMed - in process]
