Brief Summary
Echocardiographic Assessment: Performed within 24h of PE diagnosis Conventional parameters: TAPSE, RV FAC, RV/LV ratio, tricuspid S', PASP STE parameters: RV free wall longitudinal strain (RVFWS), global longitudinal strain (GLS) if feasible All measurements averaged over 3 cardiac cycles (sinus) or 5 (AF) Follow-up data: ICU/hospital LOS Need for vasopressors/mechanical ventilation In-hospital and 30-day mortality

Eligibility Criteria
patients aged more than 18 years old with confirmed pulmonary embolism
You may qualify if:
- Adults ≥18 years.
