Pulmonary Embolism in the Elderly - Significance and Particularities

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The chapter aims at presenting a practically orientated survey of major problems of a clinical picture and therapeutic pitfalls in pulmonary embolism (PE) affected patients from the point of view of a geriatrician. Growing number of PE people of advancedage and considerably small awareness of this fact in wider medical public makes this chapter highly significant. Pulmonary embolism (PE) in the elderly represents immediate threat of life. Especially in old age clinical signs of PE are non-specific andcould be both underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed. The high occurrence of PE (particularly its silent form) is of crucial importance in the elderly mortality. Our recommendations would like to emphasize the need of no underestimation of this fact and to carry out preventive measures in all age groups (including ?oldest old? and frail persons. Thrombembolism is the most common cause of death, and a major cause of morbidity, in later life.
