Despite a substantial improvement of awareness of pulmonary embolism (PE) in a professional as well as in general public PE is still the

third most common cardiovascular cause of death. Latest congress of the European Society of Cardiology came with new guidelines for

diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary embolism. This article brings not only basic informations about this disease but also a view of PE

through recent guidelines perspective.

Keywords: pulmonary embolism, guidelines, PESI
