Abstract
Despite exhibiting pulmonary hypertension-related symptoms, many pulmonary embolism patients did not undergo imaging tests that could diagnose pulmonary hypertension or chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. This study suggests that physician education about the risk of pulmonary hypertension and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary embolism may need to be improved.
