Dyspnea After Pulmonary Embolism: Optimal Medical Therapy in Peripheral Vascular Disease
Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D.
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Historically, majority of clinical and research focus has been on acute management of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, long-standing functional impairment after PE is common, occurring in up to 50% of individuals with history of PE. This is termed post-PE syndrome – an underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated entity. In this podcast, experts discuss epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of post-PE syndrome.
Topics Discussed:
- What is Post-PE syndrome? How common is it?
- What is your suggested work-up of patient who presents with dyspnea after PE?
- When should a patient be referred to a tertiary/expert center?
