Increased troponin I predicts in-hospital occurrence of hemodynamic instability in patients with sub-massive or non-massive pulmonary embolism independent to clinical, echocardiographic and laboratory information

In patients with acute central sub-massive or non-massive pulmonary embolism, even mild increase in troponin I > 0.03 μg/L may provide relevant short-term prognostic information independent to clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic data.
