Ioannis Farmakis on Detecting Chronic Sequelae of Pulmonary Embolism
Ioannis Farmakis, Cardiology Resident at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, shared on LinkedIn:
”New publication in the Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis (JTH)
Our study “Follow-up Algorithm for Detecting Chronic Sequelae of Pulmonary Embolism” evaluated the performance of the ESC guideline–recommended follow-up algorithm after acute PE in the prospective FOCUS cohort.
Key insight: Current algorithms mainly identify patients with more advanced disease.
More than half of patients with post-PE impairment as well as some with confirmed CTEPH would be missed if echocardiography alone is used.
Take-home message: Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) may be crucial for earlier and more comprehensive detection of long-term post-PE sequelae.”
