Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common and potentially deadly form of venous thromboembolic disease. It is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death and is associated with multiple inherited and acquired risk factors as well as advanced age. The prognosis from PE depends on the degree of obstruction and hemodynamic effects of PE and understanding the pathophysiology helps in risk-stratifying patients and determining treatment. Though the natural history of thrombus is resolution, a subset of patients have chronic residual thrombus, contributing to the post-PE syndrome.
肺栓塞(PE)是静脉血栓栓塞性疾病中一种常见且可能致命的形式。它是心血管死亡的第三大常见原因,与多种遗传和获得性危险因素以及高龄相关。肺栓塞的预后取决于肺栓塞的阻塞程度和血流动力学影响,了解病理生理学有助于对患者进行风险分层并确定治疗方案。尽管血栓的自然转归是溶解,但一部分患者会有慢性残留血栓,这会导致肺栓塞后综合征。
