ECG Score of Daniel et al for Cardiac Stress After Massive Pulmonary Embolism
Purpose: | To evaluate a patient with a pulmonary embolus using the ECG score of Daniel et al. |
Specialty: | Cardiology Pulmonology & Critical Care |
Objective: | imaging studies, severity, prognosis, stage, differential diagnosis and mimics, red flags, selection |
ICD-10: | I26 |
Description: | Daniel et al developed a score based on changes in the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) for evaluating a patient with a pulmonary embolus causing pulmonary hypertension. This can help distinguish patients with massive embolism resulting in severe pulmonary hypertension from those with less severe disease. The authors are from Oklahoma State University in Tulsa and Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. |
