Pulmonary Embolism (PE) is a life-threatening medical condition that occurs when a blood clot, usually originating from the deep veins of the legs, travels to the lungs and obstructs blood flow. It remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Over the years, advancements in medical technology and research have improved the diagnosis and management of PE. This article aims to explore the current trends in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary embolism, highlighting the various diagnostic modalities, risk stratification methods, and treatment options available to healthcare professionals. Pulmonary embolism is a serious medical condition that poses a significant challenge to healthcare providers due to its elusive nature.
