Abstract
Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is an important vascular disease with high mortality andmorbidity and syncope is an uncommon presentation sign of acute PE. This report presentstwo cases illustrating acute PE as a cause of recurrent syncopal episodes with elevatedcardiac troponin and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels despite normal initialtrans-thoracic echocardiographic examination and negative Doppler ultrasound imaging fordetection of deep vein thrombosis
Özet
Akut pulmoner emboli (PE), yüksek mortalite ve morbiditeye sahip önemli bir vasküler hastalıktır ve senkop akut PE’nin ender görülen bir belirtisidir. Bu makalede, yineleyen senkop atakları ile birlikte yüksek kardiyak troponin ve N-terminal pro-B-tipi natriüretik peptid düzeylerine sahip olup, ilk değerlendirmede normal trans-torasik ekokardiyografi ve normal alt ekstremite derin venöz Doppler ultrasonografi bulguları saptanan 2 akut pulmoner emboli olgusu sunulmuştur
