PULMONARY RULE OUT CRITERIA (PERC)
CARDIAC BIOMARKERS
• ESTIMATE THE PROGNOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH PULMONARY EMBOLISM
• KONSTANTINIDES : AN INCREASE IN THE LEVELS OF TROPONIN T AND I
A WORSE PROGNOSIS
• THE RISK OF MORTALITY INCREASED 3.5 TIMES
• HEART-TYPE BINDING PROTEIN FATTY ACID (H-FABP) IS THE BEST MARKER
