Acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a critical cardiovascular emergency characterized by the sudden obstruction of a pulmonary artery, typically by a blood clot originating from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower limbs. As a leading cause of in-hospital mortality, its management requires rapid risk stratification and adherence to standardized clinical guidelines. Pathophysiology and Etiology
: Once a clot lodges in the pulmonary vascular bed, it increases pulmonary vascular resistance, which can lead to acute right ventricular (RV) failure and hemodynamic collapse. Download Embolie pulmonaire aiguГ« pdf
