Assessments of the associations of thrombus localization with accompanying disorders risk factors D-dimer levels and the red cell distribution width in pulmonary embolism

摘要

OBJECTIVE:Pulmonary embolisms occur as a wide spectrum ranging from clinically asymptomatic thrombi to massive thrombi that lead to cardiogenic shock. The purpose of this study was to determine the associations of thrombus localization with risk factors, accompanying disorders, D-dimer levels and the red blood cell distribution width in patients with pulmonary embolism.
