Performance of D-dimer, cardiac troponin T, C-reactive protein, and NT-proBNP in prediction of long-term mortality in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism
Patients evaluated for clinical suspicion of PE have high long-term mortality. Commonly used biomarkers provide long-term prognostic value in patients without PE. Given the relatively young age, it is vital to identify these high-risk patients and perform differential diagnosis work-up for alternative life-threatening conditions, and manage them as appropriate.
