Summary
Acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is the most serious clinical presentation of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality, exceeded only by stroke and myocardial infarction. Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is the most severe chronic form of CTED and it occurs in 2-4% of patients after acute PE. In Portugal little is known about PE epidemiology and its outcomes, including complications like CTED. The main goal of this study is, therefore, to understand PE epidemiology and complications in the northern region of Portugal. This information can enable the organization of a structured health care network that can potentially benefit all PE patients.
