Acute pulmonary embolism remains a catastrophic acute cardiovascular event, and it is the leading cause of preventable mortality among hospitalized patients. Pulmonary embolism response teams have been designed to facilitate efficiency, streamline and improve quality of care in a timely manner for complex pulmonary embolism case scenarios with a multidisciplinary approach. Herein, we briefly describe and delineate the main goals and strategies on how to leverage the strengths from such pulmonary embolism response teams, with the aim to be adopted worldwide, improve survival, and change the paradigm in the care of a potentially deadly disease.
