Clinical features of pulmonary infarction in older patients with pulmonary embolism: a retrospective comparative study
Older PI patients have less typical chest pain, hemoptysis or ECG changes, a high proportion of comorbid cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases, and a higher rate of mismatch in the first visiting department. Clinicians should recognize the atypical presentations of PI in older patients and pay increased attention to this population.
