Abstract :

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of mortality, morbidity, and hospitalization in Europe. In 30-40% cases of the PE, the cause (idiopathic or unprovoked PE) cannot be determined. Nowadays, metabolomics becomes important part of clinical studies. It can help to understand the disease process and propose diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. Till now there are no studies using untargeted metabolomics in population of acute PE patients.
