Pulmonary thromboembolism (TP) remains an underdiagnosed fatal disease at the emergency unit that suggests the need for alternative noninvasive approaches to rapid diagnosis. The role of echocardiography in acute pulmonary embolism (EP) remains incompletely defined. Echocardiography cannot reliably diagnose acute EP and does not improve the prognosis of patients with low-risk acute PE, who lack other clinical characteristics of right ventricle dysfunction (VD). However, echocardiography and dopplerography of the venous system may produce additional information in high-risk patients and may help differentiate chronic VD dysfunction. Specific echocardiographic predictors of VD dysfunction have the potential to increase prognosis in patients at high risk of TP.
