The clinical diagnosis and the dissection-diagnosis agree in pulmonary embolism only in 16% of cases and in myocardial infarction in 45–69% of cases, dependent on the localisation of the infarction. ECG signs as a single alteration are to be seen in a relatively low percentage and are therefore of limited value. Clinical and paraclinical symptoms also give only a certain hint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
