Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask you, what are the key points of the examination for pulmonary embolism leading to sudden death?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary embolism leading to sudden death is caused by acute pulmonary artery hypertension and acute hemodynamic disturbance. Acute pulmonary artery obstruction is caused by venous thrombosis. The larger the thrombus, the greater the effect of blocking the blood vessel. Obstruction of the main pulmonary artery or the main branches of both pulmonary arteries will immediately lead to shock. Cardiac arrest will cause death. Cardiac arrest can be treated promptly and emergency intravenous thrombolysis can be performed. Conditional emergency intervention and other treatments can achieve good results.
