Pulmonary Embolism (PE) 0
Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a potentially life-threatening condition where one or more arteries in the lungs become blocked by a blood clot, usually originating from deep veins in the legs. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to improve outcomes, often involving anticoagulant therapy and, in severe cases, thrombolytic drugs or surgical interventions.
