Pulmonary Embolism Mimicking Pneumonia, Acute Heart Failure and Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Venous thromboembolism is a common medical condition encountered in emergency departments and is a major contributor to global disease burden. It's often misdiagnosed in critically ill patients despite being common because of its non-specific features, and diagnosis a times is at autopsy. Hence, it's a masquerader that can mimic other cardiorespiratory diseases.
