The purpose of the ERAsE-PE study is to determine whether two different healthy living strategies (along with anticoagulation) might aid in recovery after a patient is hospitalized for pulmonary embolism. Specifically, Investigators will compare changes in Cardiac Effort (#heart beats used during the 6-minute walk test/walk distance) measured after an 8-week program.
