What is a pulmonary embolism? A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. This blockage is usually caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or other parts of the body, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Symptoms of PE can include shortness of breath, chest pain, and coughing up blood. Risk factors include prolonged immobility, surgery, cancer, and certain genetic conditions. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests like CT scans or ultrasounds. Treatment typically includes blood thinners, clot dissolvers, and sometimes surgery. Prevention strategies focus on reducing risk factors, such as staying active and using compression stockings. Understanding PE is crucial for early detection and effective management.
