Abstract
Acute Pulmonary Embolism has a high rate of mortality (26%) due to blockade of the pulmonary artery leading to acute increase in right ventricular pressure causing sudden cardiac decompensation. Lack of specific tests for early diagnosis is one of the causes for high rate of mortality but timely diagnosis and active intervention can save the life of the patient.
