Common questions
What does Acute Pulmonary Embolism Risk Stratification & Treatment do?
Use to assign risk and treatment: high-risk PE needs immediate reperfusion, while stable patients are anticoagulated and monitored, with rescue reperfusion reserved for decompensation.
How is the result calculated?
Unstable → high-risk, systemic thrombolysis + anticoagulation. Stable: RV + troponin both positive → intermediate-high (monitor, rescue thrombolysis); one positive/high score → intermediate-low; sPESI = 0 and normal RV/troponin → low-risk. NOAC preferred.
Is this a substitute for clinical judgement?
No. All results are decision-support only, for licensed clinicians. They must be individualized to the whole patient and the latest guideline version.
