PURPOSE
The two related purposes of the RE-TyPE study are:
1. To improve understanding of the early clinical course of intermediate-high risk pulmonary embolism and its association with outcome and 2. To establish a platform for longitudinal follow-up for all pulmonary embolism at Sahlgrenska University Hospital
HYPOTHESES
1. The dynamic pattern of change, evaluated thorough repeated measures of biomarkers, electrocardiography and echocardiography during the first 48 hours after pulmonary embolism, better predicts outcome than static measurements currently used to predict outcome 2. Establishment of a platform for longitudinal follow-up will improve quality of care and outcome for patients with pulmonary embolism at Sahlgrenska University Hospital
Adult patients (≥ 18 years old) who is diagnosed with, or followed as out-patients for, PE at Sahlgrenska University Hospital
