Risk Stratification for Patients Presenting With Acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

NCT00562042 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 28

Last updated 2007-11-21

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Hypothesis: Increases in CRP, trop T, and BNP values will correlate significantly with right heart failure on echocardiogram and with mortality, ICU stay, hospital stay, and escalations in care.

1. Evaluate whether CRP, trop T, and BNP correlate significantly with right heart failure on echocardiogram.
2. Evaluate whether CRP, trop T, BNP, and echocardiogram correlate significantly with clinical outcomes: mortality, ICU stay, hospital stay, and escalations in care.
3. Compare each test's correlation with clinical outcomes to the others, to determine which test provides the best risk ratio.
4. Compare each trop T value's correlation with echo findings and clinical outcomes to determine the optimal time to draw trop T levels on a patient presenting with acute PE.
5. These tests will not be used in an attempt to establish a diagnosis of PE.
