Pulmonary Embolism – Pulmonary refers to lungs and an embolus stands for a blood clot.
Pulmonary embolism is a critical life-threatening condition that requires a prompt diagnosis and treatment to reduces the risk of fatality.
PE is a disorder when a blood clot is carried in circulation to lodge in the pulmonary artery that blocks and stops blood flow and oxygen levels in the lung tissues.
