“…Although our results indicate that the extent of PE should not be given decisive clinical importance in the risk stratification following PE, we have previously shown an association between Troponin elevation in acute PE and MPBEC score. 24,25 This indicates that MBPEC might be relevant in contexts other than mortality. Furthermore, there may be clot parameters other than total clot volume/burden that may be important to assess, such as semi-quantitative clot burden measurement, clot volume quantification and lung perfusion quantification using iodine maps, signs of chronicity, as those accurately predict chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and other post-PE sequelae.…”
