How we do it: evaluation of dyspnea and exercise intolerance after acute pulmonary embolism
Chest. 2022 Jul 2:S0012-3692(22)01215-6. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2022.06.036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong-term dyspnea and exercise intolerance are common clinical problems after acute PE. Unfortunately, no single test can distinguish among the range of potential pathological outcomes after PE. We illustrate a stepwise approach to post-PE evaluation that uses a hierarchical series of clinically validated diagnostic tests. The algorithm is represented by the acronym SEARCH, which stands for symptom screening, exercise testing, arterial perfusion, resting echocardiography, confirmatory chest imaging and (right) heart cat...

Clinical value of echocardiography in evaluating hemodynamics and right ventricular function in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after balloon pulmonary angioplasty
CONCLUSIONS: The findings show that a single BPA procedure significantly improves RV volume load and reduces the pulmonary blood pressure in CTEPH patients in the short-term. However, BPA does not improve RV systolic function 24 hours after the procedure. The results indicate that evaluation of RV structural and function with echocardiography is an effective approach for non-invasive monitoring of patient status after BPA.PMID:35693626 | PMC:PMC9186241 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-21-1536
