Acute Pulmonary Embolism after Discharge: Duration of Therapy and Follow-up Testing

Abstract: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a frequent cause of death and serious disability with a risk extending far beyond the acute phase of the disease. Anticoagulant treatment reduces the risk for death and recurrent VTE after a first PE. The optimal duration of anticoagulation after a first episode of PE remains controversial and should be made on an individual basis, balancing the estimated risk for recurrence without anticoagulant treatment against bleeding risk under anticoagulation.

“…Warfarin, the most commonly used anticoagulant drug, has a narrow therapeutic window and needs to be closely monitored through an International Normalized Ratio (INR) test to ensure efficacy and safety. [2,3] Patient demographics including age and gender influence the normal reference ranges of various parameters included on the thrombophilia-screen. Timing of sample collection and immediate delivery to the laboratory are imperative for thrombophilia-screen tests.…”
