Managing Pulmonary Embolism With and Without Shock — ER, ICCU, Latest Guidelines and Interventional Procedures
from Cardiology Course FM Hosted by Dr. A M Thirugnanam, MD, MSICP, FSCAI, Ph.D.
Today's topic is one of the great masqueraders of medicine — a condition that can look like a heart attack, pneumonia, a panic attack, or simply unexplained breathlessness, and that can kill within hours if missed: acute pulmonary embolism. We'll discuss how to diagnose it, how to stratify the risk, how to manage patients with and without shock, and the growing role of catheter-based interventional procedures — in the emergency room, the ICCU and the catheterisation laboratory. Guest: Dr. A M Thirugnanam, MD, MSICP, FSCAI, Ph.D., Senior Interventional Cardiologist, author, educator and founder of the Academy of Elite Doctors. Host: Samantha Cardiology Course FM is the station for doctors, students, nurses and everyone who looks after the heart.
