First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether a simple heart ultrasound can help predict which patients with a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) are at higher risk for serious problems. Researchers will check right heart function in 112 adults and track outcomes like breathing failure, heart issues, and death. The goal is to improve how doctors assess risk and make treatment decisions.
