1 ulmonary Embolism: Diagnostic and Management trategies ctober 19, 2018 aratoga prings, NY ver the past ten years, despite thousands of professional articles, new research and new technology, pulmonary embolism continues to be one of the most commonly missed medical diagnosis. The epidemiology of E is difficult to determine because it may remain asymptomatic, or its diagnosis may be an incidental finding; in some cases, the first presentation of E may be sudden death. t is frequently found only during autopsy. ecently, however, we have bent the curve 180 degrees and feel we are over imaging and over treating pulmonary embolism. ulmonary embolism is a common clinical disorder that is associated with high morbidity and mortality, if untreated. t is important to confirm or rule out the diagnosis in patients with clinical suspicion of the disease. ulmonary embolism is both under and over diagnosed, which leads to patients either failing to receive treatment or receiving unnecessary, potentially life-threatening treatment. ational diagnosis and management of suspected E is now possible. A review of diagnostic strategies based on new technology and more sensitive D-dimers reveal a selective approach for optimal efficiency would be an appropriate method of choosing the initial diagnostic test. election should be guided by clinical assessment of the pretest probability of pulmonary embolism and by patient characteristics that may influence test accuracy. oal is to establish an evidence-based thought process utilizing tools in our armamentarium to be selective on what tests we order and when; choosing wisely, selecting the right test for the right patient. ayur V. atel, MD, M, FAC, FACE, FACHE, FACE Chief Medical fficer Access2MD
