Significance of pPTT-TAPSE and Mortality Prediction for Acute Pulmonary Thromboembolism in Emergency Department

Abstract

Aim: TAPSE and pPTT are new echocardiographic parameters recommended in the evaluation of right ventricular function. Examine the echocardiographic parameters of patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary thromboembolism and determine the predictive of mortality. Materials and Methods: The study was prospectively. Patients diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in the emergency department between 06.12.2019-31.05.2020 were included [86 patients (42 case - 44 control)] in the study. Results: pPTT mean scores of the case and control groups were 91.88 ms and 127,09 ms (p
