   Can a patient die from acute pulmonary embolism (PE)?

   • Most patients who die as a result of acute PE are never diagnosed before death. In fact, PE is not suspected in most of these patients. Overall in-hospital mortality rate ranges from approximately 8% in stable patients to 25% in those presenting with cardiogenic shock and to 65% in patients requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (2).

Risk factors for pulmonary embolism are conditions that impair venous return, conditions that cause endothelial injury or dysfunction, and underlying hypercoagulable states.
