First seen May 19, 2026 ยท Last updated May 19, 2026

Summary

This study looked at whether COVID-19 infection makes people more likely to develop pulmonary embolism (PE), a serious condition where blood clots block arteries in the lungs. Researchers reviewed medical records of 347 patients who had a special CT scan of their lungs. The goal was to confirm and measure the link between COVID-19 and PE, which could help doctors better treat sudden breathing problems in COVID-19 patients.
