Primary outcomePrimary: To Identify the Accuracy of Routine CTPA for the Distinction of CTEPH From Acute PE. — 70; 70 Sensitivity
Summary
In this study the investigators will evaluate whether more careful reading (than the current standard) of routine computerised tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) performed in the clinical work-up of suspected (pulmonary embolism (PE) will differentiate patients with acute PE from those with more chronic or acute on chronic PE, which could be indicative of the presence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH)"
