Abstract
Acute PE has significant impact in systolic and diastolic function of RV. The higher RV-MPI implies that condition. However, optimal anticoagulant treatment corrects RV dysfunction in patients with PE. After a 1-month course of anticoagulant treatment, RV-MPI diminishes as the result of RV-IVRT reduction.
