Related factors of pulmonary embolism recurrence and research progress on its prevention / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Pulmonary embolism is the cardiovascular disease caused by endogenous or exogenous emboli blocking the pulmonary artery system. Pulmonary embolism is clinically very common and has a high recurrence rate. Its etiology is complicated. Pulmonary embolism recurrence can be caused by many factors, which affect its prognosis. Complicated diseases, residual thrombosis, anticoagulation therapy and respiratory disorders are the main factors that lead to pulmonary embolism recurrence. Some blood test indicators can also reflect the recurrence of pulmonary embolism. This paper reviews the risk factors and prevention strategies of pulmonary embolism recurrence, with the purpose of reducing recurrence rate, improving prognosis and thereby providing objective evidence for clinical practice.
